OUR DREAM IS COMING TRUE --- WE THANK GOD AND ALL OF YOU!


OUR NEW SAINT THERESA FAMLY LIFE CENTER
serving 
St. Theresa Church 
Rhodelia, Kentucky 

St. Mary Magdalen of Pazzi Church 
Payneville. Kentucky 
 


The outside is mostly done - minus a final bit of painting over that bluish primer. This past week, the asbestos, lead paint and old window removal started and was progressing quite well the day this 1-27-22 photo was taken. It should be finished in a few days. Once it passes inspection, we will be ready to begin the installation of the new windows and doors. Meanwhile, the architect is working hard on the interior drawings and bid documents for the new geo-thermal/solar-panel HVAC system, plumbing system and electrical system. After that, we can move to painting, flooring, light fixtures, appliance installation and window treatments. Finally, we can install the furniture, the porch rockers and the historic photo gallery. So far, if things continue to go well, we are on schedule to meet our re-dedication deadline of October 15, 2022 - the Feast of Saint Theresa of Avila. 

Since we say that "we believe in the communion of saints," I have invited our people to ask the many parish "saints" buried in our three cemeteries to help us with this project while believing, in the words of St. Theresa herself, that "God helps those who set out to do great things for His sake."  

Our fund-raising is going well, but we are not there yet. If you can help us out, let me know. I'll be happy to receive your gift, see that it is deposited in the Saint Theresa Family Life Center account and make sure a "thank you" card is sent to you! Come on and help us show the world that even small historic country parishes can do amazing things like this even these days! Let's prove to the whole Archdiocese of Louisville that miracles can happen even in small country towns. 

You know you want to help us out, so come on and say that prayer and write your check! To show our appreciation, we'll invite you to the rededication and give you a tour of the new Saint Theresa Family Life Center in October when we celebrate the Feast of Saint Theresa of Avila.  


Saint Theresa of Avila, pray for us! 
Saint Mary Magdalen of Pazzi, pray for us! 
Venerable Augustus Tolton, pray for us!
