During the parent/teacher meeting in September, I informed parents that renovations would be taking place in the Parish Center. Currently the renovation work for the Parish Center is scheduled to begin in early May. What this means to us is that the renovation work will not affect us during the 07-08 school year. It will mainly take place during the summer months with the goal to have a new facility for the beginning of the 08-09 school year. We are so excited to know that soon many of the well-needed improvements will be taking place. I greatly appreciate your patience and will continue to keep you informed as any renovation changes are communicated to me. God Bless,
