A Few Financial Points
Pavement Repair Project: The final breakdown of the paving repair project cost: $23k for asphalt, $13k for stripping, excavating, disposal, and soft spot repair including the stabilization fabric, and $3k for crack sealant. The final project total was $39k and was paid from our savings. The project was mandated by our insurance company for safety.
Thank you to all who helped offset the cost of the paving repair project.
DDD: Our DDD status as of November 13: $45,388 paid with an outstanding balance of $17,512 to meet our total 2025 DDD $62,900. 2025 DDD due date: December 31.
Patio Update: We raised over $15,000 from 161 donors over 3 months this summer in mostly $100 increments. The hilly and rocky bare patch of ground next to the north Church wall was leveled for the concrete pour. A patio space and retaining wall was poured. Three brand new large patio seating/table sets with umbrellas are assembled, including one that is handicapped accessible for wheelchairs. Drought-friendly landscaping rocks and live greenery were planted. The engraved plaque is now finished and ready to be installed. We commissioned a stunning bronze-coated relief sculpture of Saint Olaf, expertly designed and crafted by our own parishioner, Dale Schultz. The piece will be displayed in the Church after Thanksgiving and then will be installed on the patio wall alongside the engraved plaque. We hope this outdoor gathering space is a source of fellowship for our growing Parish and School Community as we continue to host many events in the years ahead. Saint Olaf, Pray for Us.
We would be humbly grateful if you have the ability to help the Church replenish our savings.

Our Mission
PRAYER TO MAKE A “SPIRITUAL COMMUNION”
Saint Teresa of Avila wrote: “When you cannot receive Communion and cannot attend Mass, you can make a spiritual communion, which is a most beneficial practice; by it the love of God will be greatly impressed on you.”
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
please come spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you now
as if you were already there
and I unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me
to be separated from you.
Amen
