SEPTEMBER UPDATE From the Desk of Fr. Francisco Rios



Dear Parishioners and Members of the Saint John Vianney Community,


I hope you each had a wonderful summer with friends and family.  As we begin the fall, I wanted to take the time to personally update you on our progress to complete our SJV Community Center.  As you may know, a group of dedicated parishioners and staff have been working hard planning ways to effectively and successfully complete our SJV Community Center and we have made exciting progress in determining our next steps. 

There will continue to be regular updates in the bulletin and we will be forming committees this fall and launching a campaign this spring.  Many parishioners and ministry groups have already pledged their early support and we hope to continue to be blessed by early funding so that we can start work on finishing the interior and repaying loans as soon as possible.  This is a project that needs the support of every member of our community and I ask that you please continue to keep this project in your prayers.  I also ask that you begin to consider how you can share your time and talents with the parish community and join me in finishing this project.   

Finishing our SJV Community Center is a priority of mine.  There’s no question that our Community Center will add tremendous value to our many parish ministries and school activities and enrich the faith experience of our current and future parishioners.  But, most importantly, completing our SJV Community Center has the ability to unite us together in a common goal – that of enriching our active and vibrant faith community. 

Thank you for your patience, prayers and support as together, with God’s help and guidance, we unite as one to continue to build the community of Saint John Vianney.

Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Francisco Rios
Pastor
