Park Improvements

Improvements to our Park facilities have been in the works for some time.  This spring, improvements to the park commenced under the direction of Tom Van Kiersblick and Tom Zarda.  The restrooms have new plumbing fixtures, lighting, and wider entry doors.  The shelter has been cleaned and painted.  Exterior lighting has been replaced and improved.  Various electrical repairs and safety features have been added.  The fence along the east property was replaced and completed.  Tree trimming was done around the whole property.  It looks great!

 **     acted as parish liaison.  He saw to the distribution of miraculous medals and our ‘How to Pray the Rosary’ pamphlet.  He arranged for and filled 4 busses from   our parish.  Many other parishioners travelled by car.  Gary has done an outstanding job.  Thank you Gary.
