  3. Fundraising for New Sound System

    • The collection for the purchase and installation of a new, high-quality sound system continues. We sincerely thank everyone who has already responded and offered support.
    • Nearly $3,000 has been raised so far.
    • Until the end of October, targeted collections will be held after each Sunday Mass using a special box. If you cannot contribute at that time but wish to help, you may leave a note with the intended donation amount, the planned date of contribution, and your contact details. This will help us plan the budget.
    • Please keep our benefactors in your prayers. For more information, contact the pastor.
