NEW CHURCH ORGAN FUND |
|
Music is an integral part of bringing people, parish and community together. A new organ was installed just in time for Holy Week in April 2018, and there was an initial generous outpouring of support to fund the much needed replacement. Everyone is "key" to supporting this unexpected church expense. Help enrich everyone's mass, service and church event experience by giving to the fund today. Drop your donation in a clearly marked envelope in a collection basket or mail to the parish office. Or, if you have questions regarding the fund, please feel free to contact the parish office.

At SS. Cyril & Methodius Church, we are a people who take pride in the thoughtfulness of our predecessors who founded our strong community of faith. They put in place facilities dedicated to the great glory of God. These have been maintained over the years and passed on as symbols of our rich heritage. We have a beautiful and magnificent church that speaks well of our devotions, communal and private prayer.
The participation of all in living out the mission of the Church is critical. Through this participation we are made aware of the Lord's presence and we experience His love and care in a very profound way. This participation also helps us to recognize and continue the legacy of our forefathers of maintaining and passing on the heritage of our faith to future generations. It is our deepest desire and prayer that you join us and be part of this noble cause. We hope that your time with us will be an opportunity to share our unwavering faith and the vibrant joy we have in Christ Jesus.
