AT CORPUS CHRISTI CHURCH
v
FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK: Thanks to your generosity in the bicentennial campaign, the promised rectory renovation is almost complete. The rectory kitchen cost approximately $45,792, and the dining room cost $10,102. For those of you who pledged, please try to complete your pledge in the prescribed time. Among the renovations in the church, we completed the new sound system, resilvering of the tabernacle and hanging lamps, stained glass window repair, and painting the church, pews, and floors under pews. Significant rectory plumbing repair is also completed.
PARISH TRUSTEES: Following the recommendation of the pastor, Cardinal Egan has appointed Michael Morrison and Victoria Muñoz as trustees of our parish for two-tear terms. Thank you to John Rudy and Marcia Ruiz for serving two terms as trustees. John will remain on the Finance Committee, and Marcia is appointed by the pastor to the Parish Council.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED to help the parish school better supervise our kids. Please help us in our efforts to provide a safer and more secure school for our parish families by keeping control of those coming in and out of the school during school hours. For more information, please call the school at 212-662-9344.
FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK: I have appointed Dorothy Valla, a longtime resident of our parish, as principal of Corpus Christi School beginning with the September 2008 academic year. Dorothy has been both teacher and administrator at Holy Name School for 21 years. We welcome her, and we pray that the Holy Spirit will guide her for the good of our school community.
SINCE THE ARCHDIOCESAN BICENTENNIAL CAMPAIGN, the parish has been able to do many of the renovations promised. These include:
• Painting the church, the pews, and the floor under the pews.
• Resilvering the tabernacle and the hanging lamps.
• Releading the stained glass window in the sacristy.
• Much of the plumbing has been done, with new pipes installed
throughout the building.
• The rectory kitchen is under renovation.
• A new sound system for the church.
If you made a pledge to the campaign, please try your best to fulfill that pledge so that work can be completed. Also, new issues of maintenance continue to appear throughout the school, rectory, and church. So all the help you can give is appreciated. Without your support, the above-mentioned work would never have been done!
