Fr. David's To Do List


Many things remain to be addressed in completing the finishes of our building.  One night, I could not sleep as these things were rolling around in my head – the only way to get them out was to make a list.  Here then is a list of the things that have been in my head.  I’m sure there are more things to address, but this will serve as a beginning.

I know that it is not always easy or natural to step up and volunteer to take on a task, it is much easier to wait to be asked.  So let this be my “asking” of all of you who have the time and energy, to take responsibility for one or more of these tasks and get it completed.
