Accomplishment
you’re proud of One of our women’s groups learned
that St Paul’s Chapel in New York City was spending $3000 a
day feeding those involved with the work at the World Trade Center
site. They wanted to do something to help. Two women went to the vestry
and challenged them to match the funds that the women’s group
raised—which they did. Both women’s groups at our church
make sure to empty their treasuries at the end of every year, ensuring
their tradition of good works.
Key event in history We took a great risk when we moved from cramped, land-locked quarters to a larger campus. Our new location is on a major thoroughfare, so we have greater visibility and adequate parking. This took vision and involved a lot of challenges to the parish. We did it!
Greatest challenge I’d say it’s to respond to the changing demographics of our community—and to maintain the geographically wide area from which we draw.
Theme hymn “Tu has venido a la orilla.” Here is a verse:
You
have come down to the lake shore,
Seeking
neither the wise nor the wealthy,
But
only asking for me to follow.
