Retrofit Update

Joan — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:03:11 GMT

The very small parish of Mission San Antonio de Padua is currently
facing major expenses.
We have just completed an intense study that culminated in a Historical Site Report (HSR); a study to determine the extent of retrofitting which will be required to bring the Mission building up to today's structural standards.
The next task will be to acquire funding in the amount determined by the study to pay for the actual work which needs to be done. This retrofit is mandatory to our being able to remain open to the public.
The thirty-five rural registered families that call this Mission their home parish have the hearts to work hard, and the will to fight hard to keep Mission San Antonio de Padua open and minister to all whom God chooses to send our way. We do not, however, have the funds. Please pray for us...and if you feel led to do so (in prayer) please help us with your monetary support.
Please send your tax-deductible donations to: Attn: Retrofit Assistance
Mission San Antonio de Padua
P.O. Box 803
Jolon, CA 93928
A receipt will be provided for your tax records. In return, we offer our humble and heartfelt appreciation for your coming along side us...on the Mission....as the Mission continues. Rest assured, you'll also remain in our intercessory prayers.
