Emmaus has decided to continue live-streaming Masses and other liturgical events on a permanent basis. This has created the need for a few other responsible persons to become involved in this ministry. We are in need of volunteers to commit to this ministry on a rotating basis. We specifically need back-ups for the daily and Sunday Masses, but we will also need assistance with live-streaming occasional funerals, weddings, baptisms etc. 

Last week the grading of the parking and main drive were completed along with the retaining walls. Water barricades were also installed. Activities for this week include installing batter boards and the layout of underground plumbing at the slab will begin. We also had a small groundbreaking with prayers said for a successful build.
