Fundraising Continues as Construction Start Nears; Committee Continues Outreach
To date, about 30% of SJN parishioners who attend Mass regularly have contributed to the BLF campaign. Are you among them? If so, you have the heartfelt thanks of our priests, your fellow parishioners and all who have labored to make our new church a reality! If not, your pledge is welcomed at any time. The fund-raising period is for three years, and it will take all of us to raise the money necessary to complete the church and other facilities we need. Due to a shortfall in our initial fundraising efforts, the church has been scaled down a bit in size. Some portions of the project will be completed when funds become available. The new church is the priority, with other facilities, including the chapel, Lind Youth Center, office area, and basement rooms, to be completed as funding allows. We need and encourage every family to participate in BLF, so please pledge today!

Members Needed for BLF Committees
A number of committees are now being formed to guide decisions on key parts of the building project. The committees are Sacred Spaces, Interior Decor, Construction Oversight, Landscaping, and Facilities Management.
