Beautifying Our Church With Love and Devotion<\/h3>\n

It is my hope that you like how our church remodel is coming along. Many have asked if it will be completed by Easter and the answer is \u201cno.\u201d There is still much to be done. Please realize that most of the work is being done by volunteers from our parish family. To them we owe our appreciation for the time, work, sacrifice, and generosity that they are sharing with all of us.
\nWe are so rich in talent. Our members share their talents with all of us every time I ask them to. I, especially, am very grateful and proud of them. Words are not enough to express my gratitude on behalf of all of us. Please keep them in your prayers.<\/p>\n

As I said, there is still much to do:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The pictures of St. Francis and St. Julia need to be framed and hung in the sanctuary.<\/li>\n
  2. The stations of the cross will get a new look and then arranged on the walls.<\/li>\n
  3. The original statues of the parish (the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph) will be placed on the main wall on either side of the baldacchino.<\/li>\n
  4. The gold stand for the tabernacle needs to be painted.<\/li>\n
  5. The new gold sanctuary light will be placed and hung within the baldacchino over the tabernacle (a gold tabernacle that we already have).<\/li>\n
  6. Wall sconces and cross will also be placed on the sanctuary walls between the large pictures.<\/li>\n
  7. Added new lights will be installed.<\/li>\n
  8. The pictures of saints will be placed throughout the church.<\/li>\n
  9. New carpet for the sanctuary will be installed.<\/li>\n
  10. The baldachin for the blessed sacrament will be installed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We will do all this one step at a time, asking God\u2019s blessings for our parish family as we beautify the Temple of God and our spiritual home.
    \nMay God bless you all. You are in my prayers and in my heart.<\/p>\n

    Peace and Good, Friar Julio<\/p>\n

    Embelleciendo Nuestra Iglesia con Amor y Devoci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Espero que les guste c\u00f3mo va la remodelaci\u00f3n de nuestra iglesia. Muchos han preguntado si estar\u00e1 terminada para Pascua y la respuesta es “no”. A\u00fan queda mucho por hacer. Tengan en cuenta que la mayor parte del trabajo lo realizan voluntarios de nuestra familia parroquial. A ellos les debemos nuestro agradecimiento por el tiempo, el trabajo, el sacrificio y la generosidad que comparten con todos nosotros.
    \nTenemos much\u00edsimo talento. Nuestros miembros comparten sus talentos con nosotros cada vez que se lo pido. Yo, en particular, estoy muy agradecido y orgulloso de ellos. No tengo palabras para expresar mi gratitud en nombre de todos nosotros. Por favor, mant\u00e9nganlos presentes en sus oraciones.<\/p>\n

    Como dije, a\u00fan queda mucho por hacer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Las im\u00e1genes de San Francisco y Santa Julia deben enmarcarse y colgarse en el presbiterio.<\/li>\n
    2. El V\u00eda Crucis tendr\u00e1 una nueva apariencia y luego se colocar\u00e1 en las paredes.<\/li>\n
    3. Las im\u00e1genes originales de la parroquia (la Sant\u00edsima Madre y San Jos\u00e9) se colocar\u00e1n en la pared principal a ambos lados del baldaquino.<\/li>\n
    4. El soporte dorado del sagrario debe pintarse.<\/li>\n
    5. La nueva l\u00e1mpara dorada del sagrario se colocar\u00e1 y colgar\u00e1 dentro del baldaquino sobre el sagrario (un sagrario dorado que ya tenemos).<\/li>\n
    6. Tambi\u00e9n se colocar\u00e1n apliques de pared y una cruz en las paredes del presbiterio, entre las im\u00e1genes grandes.<\/li>\n
    7. Se instalar\u00e1n nuevas l\u00e1mparas.<\/li>\n
    8. Las im\u00e1genes de los santos se colocar\u00e1n por toda la iglesia.<\/li>\n
    9. Se instalar\u00e1 una alfombra nueva para el presbiterio.<\/li>\n
    10. El baldaquino para el Sant\u00edsimo se instalar\u00e1.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Haremos todo esto paso a paso, pidiendo la bendici\u00f3n de Dios para nuestra familia parroquial mientras embellecemos el Templo de Dios y nuestro hogar espiritual.
      \nQue Dios los bendiga a todos. Est\u00e1n en mis oraciones y en mi coraz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
