Small Church Renovation
We reported in the bulletin on January 10: “Renovation of the old church. I hate to see the old church not being used. A group of people came together to pitch in and clean it. The vents and carpet have been cleaned.”
The former Guardian Angels church is a chapel now, and is nicknamed “St. Joseph, Terror of Demons.” It is almost completely renovated. When I arrived, it was being used to store a few things, and it smelled like mold. Now is it clean and it does The ceiling in the sanctuary now has stars and not smell anymore. It has been used a few times for religious patterns on it. The crucifix was moved up Mass and Adoration. A Confessional is being to a crossbeam placed above the front of the completed for use in it.

He becomes a deacon During your sleepovers and hanging out with after many years of classes, prayer, and discernment (which is the way we determine friends, what God’s will is).
