Nearly Three MontThe storm may be behind us, but the work of healing and rebuilding continues.

It has been nearly three months since the July 27 tornado changed the landscape of our community and the lives of so many of our neighbors.

We have come a long way since that day. Through God's grace and the extraordinary generosity of so many people, we have witnessed countless acts of kindness, compassion, and hope.
We have celebrated milestones, taken important steps forward, and experienced firsthand what it means to be a community that cares for one another.

But our journey of recovery is far from over.

Significant work remains at both St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception and St. John the Baptist churches. While we are grateful to once again be celebrating Mass at St. Mary,
the repairs and restoration of our parish properties will continue for some time.

And beyond our church buildings, many families and individuals throughout our community are still struggling to put their lives back together.
For some, the challenges of recovery have only become more apparent as the weeks have turned into months.

The headlines may have faded, but the needs have not.

That is why our Tornado Response Fund remains so important. Although our parish properties are insured, there will continue to be expenses, unforeseen challenges,
and needs that insurance may not fully cover. Your generosity allows us to respond where help is needed most—supporting the ongoing restoration of our churches,
caring for our parish family, and assisting with recovery efforts in our community.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference.

It is more than a financial contribution. It is a reminder to someone who is struggling that they have not been forgotten. It is a helping hand, a gesture of compassion,

 and a beautiful expression of Christ's love in action.

We have come too far together to stop caring for one another now.

There is still much to be done, and the road ahead may be long. But if these past three months have taught us anything, it is that God continues
to work through the generosity, faith, and love of His people.

Thank you for your prayers, your encouragement, and your continued generosity.
Together, we will keep moving forward— one day, one step, and one act of kindness at a time.

Because recovery doesn't happen overnight. And no one should have to walk this road alone.
