The floor and pew project begins May 2nd and will continue throughout the summer. Mass will be held in the basement beginning the weekend of May 7 & 8. We have achieved our goal for the floor & pew project, except for monies pledged & not yet collected from Fruitful Harvest. We are still counting on those pledges being honored. A total of $18,026.00 of the $36,875.00 pledged towards the floor dovetail has been paid to the Diocese & will be returned to our parish. The recent estimate which does factor in the more expensive chemical strippers dictated by recent EPA regulations and the cost of kneeler padding where it needs to be replaced is an additional $11,150.00. We have collected an additional $7,153.47 over our original goal of $45,000.00. Thank you for your generosity and stewardship! Saint Augustine parishioners should be proud of the improvements and maintenance that have been accomplished in our Church over the past few years!
