Last Fall, after two heavy rains, water was found to be leaking into the church around several windows. On inspection it was found that the caulking around those windows had degraded so much that there was no longer an effective barrier against the rain. Other church windows showed the same problem. Gotshall’s has been working on re-caulking and sealing the stone tracery on all the stained glass windows. The total cost of the project is $38,000, half to be paid this year and the other half next year. Since this project was unanticipated at budget time, we will be taking up second collections during November to cover some of the cost. What remains to be paid will come from the parish endowment fund. I thank you in advance for contributing to the preservation of our beautiful church. Father Don
