ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON NEW BUILDING UPDATE Volume 3, Issue 4 May 2020 Capital Campaign Finances $ 1,432,491 Total Cost of Project from Contractor* *Excluding Interior Furnishings, Window shades, County Permits & Landscaping $ 1,468,115 Total Payments for Construction as of 5/8/2020 $ 67,600 Contractor Pending Invoices $ 0 Parish Trust Fund Loan Available Balance as of 5/8/2020 $ 168,227 Pending Pledges (Ending 2019) $ 346,203 Assets from Extended Pledges (2020-22) What’s Happening? It’s official! The building project is complete. Our bright and beautiful parish center is everything we hoped for .... spacious and functional office space, perfectly designed chapel, and a bigger and better SVDP! But we’re sad to say there’s one thing missing....the hustle and bustle of parishioners! As we continue to “stay home and stay safe” because of the coronavirus pandemic, our planned dedication on April 4 was put on hold and parishioners missed the opportunity to walk through our wonderful new facility. We are hopeful our faith com- munity will be gathering together soon and our parish activities will return with increased focus and purpose. Even though our parking lot is empty and the church doors remain closed, it’s important to remember that the mission of our parish continues. Through prayer, sin- cere worship, and trust in our Lord and Savior, we know God is with us. To rest in the hands of God means we are secure, despite the uncertainty of life. The final invoice from O’Brien has arrived and the updated finance information is listed above. We ask that you con- tinue to support the Capital Campaign during this uncertain time if you are blessed with the financial resources. Prayer to Mary during Coronavirus Pandemic O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O loving Mother, you know what we need and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee. Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tend- ing to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Je- sus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen (Adapted from Prayer of Pope Francis – Knights of Columbus)

What’s Happening? It’s official! The building project is complete. Our bright and beautiful parish center is everything we hoped for .... spacious and functional office space, perfectly designed chapel, and a bigger and better SVDP! But we’re sad to say there’s one thing missing....the hustle and bustle of parishioners! As we continue to “stay home and stay safe” because of the coronavirus pandemic, our planned dedication on April 4 was put on hold and parishioners missed the opportunity to walk through our wonderful new facility. We are hopeful our faith com-munity will be gathering together soon and our parish activities will return with increased focus and purpose. Even though our parking lot is empty and the church doors remain closed, it’s important to remember that the mission of our parish continues. Through prayer, sin-cere worship, and trust in our Lord and Savior, we know God is with us. To rest in the hands of God means we are secure, despite the uncertainty of life. The final invoice from O’Brien has arrived and the updated finance information is listed above. We ask that you con-tinue to support the Capital Campaign during this uncertain time if you are blessed with the financial resources.

Prayer to Mary during Coronavirus Pandemic O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O loving Mother, you know what we need and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee. Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tend-ing to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Je-sus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen (Adapted from Prayer of Pope Francis – Knights of Columbus)

STA. ELIZABETH ANN SETON ACTUALIZACIÓN DEL NUEVO EDIFICIO

Volumen 3, Edición 4 Mayo 2020

Finanzas de la Campaña de Capital

$ 1,432,491 Estimado del costo total para el proyecto *

* Excluyendo mobiliario interior, Cortinas, Permisos del Condado y Jardinería

$ 1,468,115 Pagos totales por construcción al 8 de mayo de 2020

$ 67,600 Pagos pendientes al contratista

$ 0 Fondos disponibles del préstamo

$ 168,227 Compromisos Pendientes (terminación 2019)

¿Qué está pasando? ¡Es oficial! El proyecto de construcción está completo. ¡Nuestro brillante y hermoso Centro Parroquial es todo lo que esperábamos ... es-pacios de oficina espaciosos y funcionales, capilla perfectamente diseñada y un banco de alimentos más grande y mejor! Pero nos entris-tece decir que falta una cosa ... ¡el ajetreo y el bullicio de los feligreses! A medida que continuamos “quedándonos en casa y seguros” debido a la pandemia de coronavirus, nuestra dedicación planificada para el 4 de abril se suspendió y los feligreses perdieron la oportuni-dad de visitar nuestras maravillosas nuevas instalaciones. Tenemos la esperanza de que nuestra comunidad de fe se reunirá pronto y nuestras actividades parroquiales volverán con mayor enfoque y propósito. Aunque nuestro estacionamiento está vacío y las puertas de la iglesia permanecen cerradas, es importante recordar que la misión de nuestra parroquia continúa. A través de la oración, la adoración sincera y la confianza en nuestro Señor y Salvador, sabemos que Dios está con nosotros. Descansar en las manos de Dios significa que estamos seguros, a pesar de la incertidumbre de la vida. La factura final de O’Brien ha llegado y la información financiera actualizada se encuentra arriba. Le pedimos que continúe apoyando la Campaña de Capital durante este tiempo incierto si es bendecido con los recursos financieros.

Oración a María Durante la Pandemia del Coronavirus Oh María, siempre alegras nuestro camino como señal de salvación y de esperanza. Nos confiamos a ti, Salud de los enfermos, quien, en la Cruz, participó en el dolor de Jesús mientras permaneció firme en la fe. Oh Madre amorosa, sabes lo que necesitamos y estamos segu-ros de que nos proveerás como en Cana en Galilea. Intercede por nosotros con tu Hijo Jesús, el Médico Divino, por aquellos que han caí-do enfermos, por aquellos que son vulnerables, y por los que han muerto. Intercede también por los encargados de proteger la salud y la seguridad de los demás y por aquellos que atienden a los enfermos y buscan una cura. Ayúdanos, Oh Madre del Amor Divino, a confor-marnos a la voluntad del Padre y a hacer lo que nos dice Jesús, quien asumió nuestros sufrimientos y llevó nuestras penas, para llevar-nos, a través de la Cruz, a la gloria de la resurrección. Amén
