On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, the world will embark on it’s 13th year of #GivingTuesday, a day created for the purpose and intent of coming together in generosity and gratitude.

And God said, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3), and light came into the world. Light is not only essential for life, it is a symbol of hope, guidance, and the presence of God among us. This year, we have a new project that will affect every member of our parish: upgrading the lighting system in our Church Sanctuary. Our 30-year-old electrical system requires updates, including new hardware to make our dimming controls compatible with today’s lighting technology.

New lighting will:

• Ensure every corner of our sanctuary is beautifully and safely lit
• Allow for missing or dim lights to be replaced, particularly in the choir loft
• Harmonize the color temperature of all lights for a consistent, inviting atmosphere
• Improve the overall experience of Mass, music, and parish events

Our goals this #GivingTuesday are to raise $35,000 to brighten our sanctuary and make every worship experience more beautiful and inspiring. Please prayerfully consider making a gift during the 24-hour period on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. The Diocese is covering all processing fees, which means 100% of your gift goes directly to this project.
