As you may know, the parish recently received a bequest for the refurbishment of St. Joseph's. If you've noticed that the pews are no longer cutting off the circulation in your legs, then you know we've already installed seat cushions - you're welcome. :) What's next? On August 3, our contractor will begin removing the paneling behind the altar, insulate the wall, and install sheetrock. 

It just so happens that we have another church to use, so Wednesday and Saturday Masses for two weeks will be at St. Mary's. That means these dates:
Wednesdays at 9am, August 5 & 12
Saturdays at 4pm, August 8 & 15

If you live in Chester, this will mean an extra drive, but when we come back we'll be rid of the paneling! If you live in Springfield, you're a lucky duck with a few extra Masses a little closer to home. And of course, Father Peter just has to hobble next door. It's important that we don't tax him too much. He is getting older....
