At St. Catherine of Siena Chapel, we are continually reminded that building and maintaining a beautiful home for Our Lord takes many helping hands.
This week, we would like to recognize and thank Anderson, who generously volunteered his time and hard work to help care for our church!
A Beautiful Act of Service
Anderson took on the important task of removing leaves from the roof and clearing away vines growing along the front of our church.
These may seem like simple maintenance tasks, but they make a tremendous difference in preserving and beautifying our parish property.
Removing leaves and overgrown vines helps protect our building while keeping the church grounds welcoming and well cared for.
As we continue our restoration, every act of service brings us one step closer to creating a beautiful place of worship for generations to come.
Thank you, Anderson, for your generosity, dedication, and willingness to lend a helping hand!
Little Acts of Service Have Great Value
St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus reminds us through her Little Way that even the smallest actions, when performed with love, can become offerings to God.
Not everyone can make a large financial donation toward our restoration. But everyone has something they can offer.
Some give their time.
Some share their talents.
Some help with cleaning, maintenance, or organizing.
Others offer financial support or remember our parish in their daily prayers.
Every gift, no matter how small, is valuable when offered for the greater glory of God.
Scripture reminds us:
"Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men." — Colossians 3:23
When we care for our church, we are doing more than maintaining a building. We are helping preserve a sacred place where souls come to worship Our Lord, receive the Sacraments, and grow in holiness.
Please Keep Anderson in Your Prayers
We ask our parishioners to offer a special prayer of thanksgiving for Anderson and all those who generously volunteer at St. Catherine of Siena Chapel.
May Our Lord bless Anderson, protect him, and reward his kindness and generosity.
May St. Joseph the Worker intercede for him and for everyone who uses their talents to serve the Church.
Would You Like to Help Our Parish?
As our church restoration continues, there are many opportunities to lend a helping hand.
Whether you have experience with maintenance, gardening, cleaning, organizing, fundraising, or other practical tasks, your talents can make a difference.
Even a few hours of your time can be a tremendous blessing!
We encourage parishioners who would like to volunteer to reach out and learn how they can help care for our growing parish.
Together, we can make St. Catherine of Siena Chapel a beautiful and welcoming home for our parish family.
