My Dear Parish Family,
Perhaps you have heard Con Ed’s slogan “Pardon our dust, but dig we must, for a better New York”. I would like to borrow that slogan and change it a little to describe what is going to happen here at St. Joseph’s. Here we go, “Pardon our dust, but demolish we must, for a better St. Joseph’s!” Many wonderful projects have been completed since Msgr. Midura began the Restoration Fund eight years ago: new doors installed in the Church, the Altar/Sanctuary Area and the Choir Section redesigned and renovated, a new Pipe Organ added and, a new restroom added to the Church. Thanks to your contributions to the Elevator Fund, an elevator was finally added to the Church and Carew Hall. Once again my thanks to all of you who fulfilled or are currently completing your pledges. Your help has been invaluable.
While much was accomplished, we were forced to postpone the reconstruction of the old convent into the new Religious Education Office due to an unexpected and very costly repair to the Rectory heating system. This project, which required a total rebuilding of the plumbing, radiators, and thermostats, cost over $100,000. While we have not been able to undertake any major projects, we have not been idle during the past four years. Thanks to the remaining pledges from the Restoration Fund and help from the Catholic Daughters and the St. Regis Council of the Knights of Columbus and the Columbiettes, we have accomplished some smaller projects and repairs. These projects include: fixing the façade on the Church and Rectory, improving the air conditioning, and new lights for the Church grounds. The improvements to the air conditioning system in Carew Hall and the Church lobby were designed to extend the life of the main system. We have also repaired the Church roof due to your overwhelming response to my direct appeal. I have been putting any remaining Restoration Fund money into a savings account to complete future projects.
At this time the current Religious Education Office is barely habitable, as it has been ravaged by carpenter ants and the building is filled with mold and mildew. Sr. Anne Marie and the entire staff are getting sick. Likewise, the old convent has been without heat for the last 7 1/2 years and it is filled with so much mold and mildew that the only, and cheapest, option we have is to tear it down. Even though we do not have enough money to fully complete this project, we have to act now! This spring we will begin by tearing down the Religious Ed Office and the old work shed/garage, and later we will tear down the old Convent. We hope to be able to do this as quickly as possible without any major disturbances (but you know how these things go). We will temporarily move the Religious Ed Office to a classroom in the upper School building. We will be taking every step to protect the security and the safety of our St. Joseph School Children and Staff. The maintenance department will be moved to the old library under the stage in the upper School. After demolition is complete, we will work on the Convent’s foundation and complete the necessary site work to erect two modular buildings to become our new Religious Education Center. We are purchasing these buildings at a very good price from our sister parish, St. Catherine of Sienna, in Franklin Square.
It is our hope that this work will be completed in late summer or early fall. I am writing this letter in the bulletin to keep you informed of our plans. As always, please keep our beautiful parish in your prayers so that all we plan to do can be quickly accomplished. In a month or so, I will be speaking at all of the Masses to give you an update on the progress and to discuss with you how each parish family can help make a difference to the future of our beloved St. Joseph’s.
Thank you for all you do for St. Joseph’s and God bless you always.
Fr. Mike

Catholic Ministries Appeal 2007

Catholic Ministries Appeal Update
Don’t Quit, we are almost there. As of June 11, 2007, we are just $3,000 shy of the goal set at $83,700. Imagine yourself walking off the basketball court while the score is tied and there are still a few seconds left on the clock; or not going out onto the baseball field in the bottom of the ninth inning when you are down by just one run; or stopping just short of the finish line when running a race! You’ll never know if you don’t try. We can’t give up. Yes, a lot of money has been pledged and yes a lot of people will benefit. But, for St. Joseph’s to benefit, we need to try just a little harder. It could mean the difference between a $8,000 Rebate and an almost $17,000 REBATE to our parish. We are asking all of you who have not made a pledge yet to please do so. We really need your help and time is running out. Remember, you can pay your pledge over time. All pledges must be paid in full by Dec. 31, 2007 for the parish to get credit toward the rebate. If your pledge is $200 or more, you’ll be entered in a raffle to win dinner for two with the parish priests. Please, may we count on your support? I pray that you will respond today by making a pledge. Thank you.
