——– FROM THE PASTOR ——–
Now that we are in the season of summer, we are relying on the air conditioning to keep our church cool during Mass. This past Spring we installed new air conditioning units in the church along with two new units in the rectory. Some people have commented that with the air conditioners running in the church during Mass it is hard to hear the Mass. We are experimenting with pausing the air conditioner units at the beginning of Mass so that we will have less noise at least for the first half of Mass.
