Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Old Chapel Door Panels Since the old chapel doors have been replaced a generous parishioner has been restoring the old ones. We can no longer use them as functional doors, so I propose the following: - The restored panels of the old doors will be separated and configured to echo the journey of St. Paul (as that is what the panels depict). - They will be hung in the church on the back NE diagonal wall. - This will require moving the metal depiction of Paul’s journey to the PAC (it’s original home I believe), where it will be hung above the interior entrance doors.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Blessed Candlemas! Candlemas Day falls on a Sunday this year. Liturgically this is the Presentation of the Lord (or historically known as the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary). But it is a day that the Church wants us to focus on light, since Christ is proclaimed as a light to the nations. This day is also the unofficial end of the Christmas season, so if you’ve kept up some Christmas decorations this long, that’s fine! Hence our church sanctuary still has some remnants of Christmas decor.
