OUR PARKING LOT

Here is an update on our Neff Road Parking Lot project. Last spring we contacted several contractors to look at our parking lot and come up with bids to repair/replace the parking lot. After the bids were sent in, we engaged two concrete specialists to evaluate what is needed for the lot and write specifications. At the same time we were raising the necessary funds to complete the project. After the specifications were written and the money was raised, a letter went to the Bishop asking permission to make the repair. Last week, we received the permission and we are now inviting contractors to bid on the job. We will keep you informed as the work on this project moves forward.

HOLY NAME SOCIETY:

 

Our Holy Name Society is pleased to invite the entire parish to attend the Holy Name Picnic and Cookout on Wednesday, July 27th, from 5:00-8:00 pm in the back yard of the convent. Hot dogs, burgers, snacks and soft drinks will be served. Last year, we had live entertainment which might be repeated this year. There is no cost for the picnic as the Holy Name Society underwrites the entire cost. In case of rain, the food will be served in the lower hall. This is a good way to meet fellow parishioners and learn about the Holy Name Society.

      July 1st was the beginning of the new Fiscal (Financial) Year for our parish. On June 30th, we closed the books on the last year - which we will report on to everyone in September - and look forward to a new year. When a new calendar year opens, many look back at the successes and failures of the previous year and make plans for a better year ahead; we do the same for our Parish with the arrival of the new fiscal year.

 

     We are entering the third year of our lease for the school building and our tenant is beginning a new round of renovations to the school building. We are updating our lease with the Sisters of Notre Dame which will extend that lease for two additional years. We just wrote new leases for our two residential tenants. Our rental income brings in the money we need to keep the parish open and make some of the improvements needed on our buildings and property.

 

     The new year will bring more challenges that are different from what has happened in the past. Our biggest challenge now is to grow our parish. We have to find new ways to attract people to our parish and to relight the flame of faith into those who have given up on their faith. It is something that will take years to accomplish and we have to renew our efforts to be true ambassadors for Christ.

 

     I believe that we have a strong and vibrant parish. For the first time in our almost 7 years of existence, we are in a financial position to move forward as a community, to build our community, and to make a difference in the lives of the Lithuanian community in Cleveland and in the lives of those who belong to our Parish. It is up to each of us and all of us to do so. So let us all continue to work together to ensure a bright future for St. Casimir Parish.

 

                                                                       God Bless! Fr. Joe Bacevice
