Have You Seen the Parish Center Lately? It’s had a makeover! Many thanks to Our Lady’s Guild for generously paying for the upgrades. Volunteers also generously gave their time to paint, wash windows, clean, and make it look great. Thank you to Joe Scala, Harriet Rossi, Celine Turchetti, Gina McCrudden, Pat Owens, and Bill Totten. We wish to acknowledge Herzog’s Home & Paint Center in Kingston for all their decorating guidance, expertise in product recommendations, and reasonable pricing that made it a viable project. Thank you especially to Herzog owners Julie & Todd Jordan and Decorating Consultant, Liliana Daragona.
