A Jewel in the Making<\/h3>\n

I want to thank you, the good people of St. Julia, for your generosity during the first collection in restoring the tabernacle and finishing the interior of the church.
\nWith this week\u2019s second collection we will be able to accomplish our goal. Thank you so much!
\nAs you can see this weekend, the new carpeting has been installed on the sanctuary floor, and the baldacchino has been installed.
\nThere remains a number of other elements that still need to be done. As they become available, we will do so. I hope that you will enjoy the process as everything comes together.
\nThis project will come to its completion because of all of us. This is the community\u2019s work in creating a more beautiful atmosphere for worship and prayer.
\nOur church is definitely not the largest of churches, but it will be a jewel by the time we finish. May it bring you much joy and help you to draw closer to God and to one another.
\nI\u2019m just so happy that I will be able to see the interior of the church completed before I leave. It\u2019s a little gift that I leave you in gratitude for everything that you mean to me. May everything that we are doing be a song of praise to God for what God means to each and every one of us.
\nWith a grateful heart, you are in my prayers and in my heart.
\nPeace and good.
\nFriar Julio<\/p>\n

Una joya en formaci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n

Quiero darles las gracias a ustedes, la buena gente de Santa Julia, por su generosidad durante la primera colecta destinada a la restauraci\u00f3n del sagrario y a la finalizaci\u00f3n del interior de la iglesia.
\nCon la segunda colecta de esta semana, podremos alcanzar nuestra meta. \u00a1Much\u00edsimas gracias!
\nComo pueden ver este fin de semana, ya se ha instalado la nueva alfombra en el piso del santuario, as\u00ed como el baldaquino.
\nQuedan a\u00fan varios elementos por completar; a medida que est\u00e9n disponibles, los iremos realizando.
\nEspero que disfruten del proceso a medida que todas las piezas van encajando.
\nEste proyecto llegar\u00e1 a su feliz t\u00e9rmino gracias al esfuerzo de todos nosotros. Es una obra de la comunidad, destinada
\na crear un ambiente m\u00e1s hermoso para el culto y la oraci\u00f3n. Ciertamente, nuestra iglesia no es la m\u00e1s grande de todas,
\npero, para cuando hayamos terminado, ser\u00e1 una verdadera joya.
\nQue esta obra les brinde mucha alegr\u00eda y les ayude a acercarse m\u00e1s a Dios y los unos a los otros.
\nMe llena de inmensa alegr\u00eda saber que podr\u00e9 ver el interior de la iglesia completamente terminado antes de mi partida.
\nEs un peque\u00f1o regalo que les dejo en se\u00f1al de gratitud por todo lo que ustedes significan para m\u00ed. Que todo cuanto
\nestamos haciendo sea un canto de alabanza a Dios por lo que \u00c9l significa para cada uno de nosotros.
\nCon un coraz\u00f3n agradecido, los llevo presentes en mis oraciones y en mi coraz\u00f3n.
\nPaz y bien.
