The Parish Council met on January 18, 2024. Fr. Crawford reported that various projects related to flood mitigation are ongoing at the OLPH School property. Thanks to these efforts, no flooding of the school has occurred during the recent rain storms. A discussion on the potential housing at St. Matthew School also took place; talks are still very preliminary between the developer, parish and Archdiocese. The St. Patrick-St. Joseph Party is tentatively scheduled for March 9th. We are in need of a new committee chair and volunteers. Without a suitable number of volunteers, the party will have to be cancelled. The next parish council meeting is scheduled for February 15, 2024. Parishioners are welcome to contact Fr. Crawford or Bryan Healy with any questions or concerns to address.
