We have wonderful news! We have a Church! Having sought an appropriate property for some 18 months and having asked the intercession of Our Lady of Good Remedy, we were blessed to find our future home (formerly the Westwood Lutheran Church) this past Easter. We are very pleased to announce that we purchased the church on July 22. Archbishop Naumann has indicated that the new church will be placed under the patronage of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne. Renovations are beginning. Through the generosity of benefactors, we have purchased a lovely set of Romanesque altars and a solid oak communion rail. Information about future needs will be forthcoming.
The church is in the lovely Spanish Mission style and comes complete with rectory. We are most grateful to God, Our Lady of Good Remedy and our benefactors who made the purchase of our new home possible. Necessary work to the grounds, house and church are expected to cost about $700,000. We very much need ask your continued prayers and generosity. We are praying to St. Joseph and St. Rose Philippine for the success of the project.
Prayer from the Missal for the Feast of St Rose Philippine Duchesne (November 17):
O God, who didst pour forth the gifts of charity into the heart of blessed Philippine, grant that, by her prayers and intercession, Thy faithful may accomplish with perfect love those things pleasing to Thee. Through Our Lord. Amen.
