We Like What You've Done With The Place

Yes, I was snapping a gratuitous shot of Kathy as we were warming up this morning for our only visit to St. Peter Canisius this season, but I also wanted to take note of the nice new tile floor there. We could actually hear ourselves, and in the congregation, Sandy remarked we sounded much more alive than when sound-deadening, wall-to-wall carpet was the rule. Great job, Fr. Edgar Villanueva and Deacon Russ Bergin, among others!

However, Sandy adds the job may ultimately go for naught. The sanctuary is far too small for St. Peter's growing congregation; for example, the parish has 600 children enrolled in CCD (this is ultimately what is called a Happy Problem). Word is the Diocese of Reno may authorize a new church to be built on the property because it would be less expensive than bringing the current structure up to code. This sounds like a long-range project, but it's still exciting to hear, and maybe RPC will be a small part of that effort at this traditionally Hispanic parish.
