BUILDING UPDATE Dear family,
Here is an update on our building conditions. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish Center: The claims process continues. Matching carpet tiles will replace several small sections of carpet that did not respond to the mitigation team’s cleaning efforts. We will use the same carpet tiles to replace the flooring in the Works of Mercy office. The flooring has been ordered and should be received by the end of this week. An installation date will be set at that time. St. Adalbert Parish Center: The new loop pump is expected to arrive by March 23 and the work will be scheduled upon arrival. It is estimated that the work will be completed within one day and very little disruption to scheduled activities will occur. St. Paul the Apostle Church: The new boiler has been installed and the heating system is now running smoothly. We have retained the older boilers to use for parts on the remaining Triangle Tube boiler. St. Paul the Apostle School and Faith Formation Center: Over the past few months, several important heating repairs have been completed in our School (Faith Formation Center). These included replacing the bathroom heating pump motor for $1,963 (12/29/2025); installing a new low‑water cutoff probe for $1,270 (1/30/2026); repairing the east zone pump bearing assembly for $1,676 (2/6/2026); replacing a pump starter, drain valve, and two thermostats for $2,470 (2/23/2026); and rebuilding a main boiler pump for $2,185 (3/6/2026). Altogether, these repairs totaled $9,564 and were needed to keep the building safe, warm, and reliable for our students and parish ministries. Thank you for supporting the upkeep of our parish buildings through the Buildings and Grounds Collection. If you feel moved to make an additional gift toward these recent repairs, the special Buildings and Grounds monthly envelope is a wonderful option. A LITTLE MATH, A LOT OF GRATITUDE
Question: Father, I have given $10 each week to our parish since 2005. How much does my $10 from 2005 buy in 2026 dollars?
Answer: Thank you, and may God bless you for your steady kindness and support. We could not share the Good News of Christ without you. To answer your question: because of rising prices over the past twenty-one years, $10 today buys what about $6 would have bought in 2005. In other words, $10 no longer has the same buying power it once did thanks to inflation. To match the value of your $10 weekly gift from 2005, you would need to give about $16.70 today, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index. God's peace, Fr. Frisoni |
