The heating season will soon be upon us. In the spring we pre-paid a block of propane at a locked in price. Hopefully, we purchased enough to get us through the winter. To help with your financial planning, notices are being given out next weekend indicating the balance of your pledge to the Capital Campaign. If you do not receive a notice, your pledge has been paid off, however, we would still gladly accept any donations to the building fund. Our Loan fund balance is $416,713.03. Thank you for your generosity. St. Patrick's Finance Committee
