PARISH HALL CLEAN UP CONTINUES (MAY 28, 2008)

Scroll down to read the rest of the story on the PARISH HOUSE FIRE OF 1959















Bishop Bruno, Talton, Carranza, and Anderson sent these beautiful flowers to the parish in the wake of the parish hall fire. Bishop Bruno has also spoken with me by phone to assure us of his continued prayers and love.























Before the serious cleaning of the parish hall started, this is what it looked like inside.







The cross we use on Good Friday was stored in the attic and was burned. It is being taken to a cleaning station with the hope that it will be returned to us soon.












Little by little the parish hall started to look better and better.













Here are the young men who did the cleaning of the parish hall. On Sunday you will be able to looked through the Parish Hall windows to see for yourselves.












The storage pod contains most of the contents of the parish hall including all of our chairs and tables.


























Stephanie Cooper gave this Welcome Center to the parish as part of her Girl Scout activities. There is real hope that it can be restored and used again.



















This stain glass window cross was a gift to me when I was ordained a priest. It was made by a member of St. Cross. I had recently hung it in the parish hall window to add some beauty for the Chapel worship.
