TODAY IS THE DEADLINE FOR MEMORIAL ADS FOR THE ST. BRENDAN 100TH ANNIVERSARY BOOK

Phase II of St. Aedan Hall Renovation After review by the St. Aedan Finance Council and Buildings Committee, Archbishop Mansell has given per-mission to hire Christopher O’Connor, Inc. as general contractor to renovate the church hall. All plans have been drafted and prepared for specifica-tions. The city of New Haven has issued the building permit and approval from the Fire Marshall’s office has been received. The project is slated to begin the first week in September and should take about 4-8 weeks for completion. Thank you for your generous financial support in our Fundraiser of last October, we could not have accom-plished this without our loyal parishioners. During the construction we may need to adapt “Sunday Coffee and” accordingly. We thank you in advance for your un-derstanding.

ST. BRENDAN REPAIR OF FURNACES HAVE BEGUN Although, thanks to the generous response of St. Bren-dan parishioners of over $16,000 to replace the boiler with economical gas boilers, the estimated cost would be three times that amount. Therefore working with Tracy Energy Company we have two options. The first option has begun with ad-justments to the existing equipment on the boilers which has provided an estimated 86% efficiency rating. They also promise more regular attention to mainte-nance. If that does not produce the needed results the second option would be to replace both burners on the existing boilers with new burners. That would be paid for by the money raised ($16,000) in last October’s an-nual appeal. Until that time all the funds raised will be held in reserve for the future of the church boilers.

St. Brendan’s Coffee And... will resume this Sunday
