Bellevue · Archdiocese of Seattle St. Madeleine Sophie intends to accomplish the following project with its parish share: UPDATE HVAC SYSTEM – AIR CONDITIONING FOR THE CHURCH: $100,000 With our parish share, St. Madeleine Sophie plans to upgrade the HVAC system in the church. The current system is 50 years old and in dire need of updating. For years, parishioners have longed for a new HVAC system, especially on those hot summer days when the church gets warm during Mass and other activities. A new HVAC system will include air ventilation and sun filtering in the church, allowing our parishioners to better focus on the liturgy. In addition to caring for our senior priests and women religious sisters, the Called to Serve as Christ campaign allows us to be good stewards of parish resources and care for our worship space in an effort to provide dignified worship. “Our Vatican II tradition values the leadership and service of the entire community flowing from our common baptism and our diverse spiritual gifts. I am grateful for the numerous Catholic priests and religious women who have affected my Catholic formation and my desire to serve the Church as a priest today. This Called to Serve as Christ campaign sets an important and innovative goal to provide assistance to retired priests and religious women who have served the people of God in so many different ministries. Thank you for supporting this noble purpose. May God continue to bless our vision to serve the many ministries of our parish and Archdiocese.” – Fr. Don Perea, Parish Priest ST.
