Dear Parishioners,
I wanted to update you on the status of our beautiful Austin Organ. Over the last month or so, we’ve discovered that the organ blower motor needed some serious maintenance. Fortunately, that fix was quickly completed with the help of David Grigsby and Frank Grise. Upon our organ servicing company re-inspection, it was discovered there was air leaking from the air chest. The air chest is a reservoir where the air coming from the motor goes before being pushed through the pipes to make the sound. After lengthy discussions with the servicing company, they have agreed to repair the air chest of the organ and retune it within the next two weeks. They are doing this at no charge as it this is covered under a warranty from the 2012 rebuild of the organ. God is good! Thank you for your patience and look forward to the return of organ music soon!
In Christ,
Matt Munhall
Director of Music and Liturgy

Boss: A Series on Authority
Raise your hand if you’ve ever wanted to scream, “You’re not the boss of me!” (You can also raise your hand if you have, in fact, actually screamed it.) Especially when we’re teenagers, we tend to push back on the people, places, and things that control and hold authority over us. But here’s the catch: whether we admit it or not, we’ve all given someone (or something) control of our lives. In this 4-week series, we will see what we can do to defeat the things that distract us and shift our attention to the things that matter.
