  3. Fundraising for New Sound System: Conclusion & Thanks

    The main phase of fundraising for the sound system upgrade has been completed. To date, over $10, 000 has been raised, which constitutes approximately 30% of the required amount for the equipment purchase. We are currently awaiting the receipt of promised donations, as well as the results of the fundraising efforts being conducted within the Korean community of our parish. Once all the funds have been received, we will promptly proceed with the project’s implementation. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has responded and supported this important cause for our parish. We also kindly ask for your fervent prayers for the successful completion of the project, for our benefactors, and for the successful execution of all forthcoming work.
