Great news from our parish kitchen! The renovation continues to move forward beautifully: ✔️ the kitchen has been freshly painted, ✔️ new floor tiles were installed, ✔️ the hood has been professionally cleaned, ✔️ and now the brand-new cabinets are in place! This week, all major appliances were delivered and installed — including the new sinks, ovens, the convection unit, stainless-steel worktables, and two commercial refrigerators. The space is truly being transformed into a functional, safe, and welcoming kitchen for all our parish events. We are deeply grateful for your generosity to the Renovation Fund. It is thanks to your support that we can continue improving the spaces that serve our whole parish family. We warmly encourage everyone to support our parish and its ongoing projects. Every contribution — large or small — makes a real difference

Our parish is preparing a major project to repair, restore, and beautify the high altar (reredos) and the upper apse of our church. This work is necessary due to the passage of time—small sections of the paintings have begun to flake, and parts of the wooden structure are damaged and in need of restoration. It is also a wonderful opportunity to deepen the focus of our worship on the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

On Friday, August 15, we joyfully celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – the day when the Church honors Mary being taken body and soul into the glory of heaven. Her Assumption is a sign of hope for us, reminding us of the destiny God has prepared for all who love Him.
