REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE TO OUR PARISH GROUNDS & PROPERTIES 2024

In August, work will be done in the Sacred Heart - Saint Joseph Cemetery in Weston. The three driveways will be repaired and resurfaced and a new upper driveway will be installed. We are still awaiting the PPL to approve our new electric service so that the water well may be activated. The old death vault, that has not been used in decades and was in terrible shape, has been dismantled. Your support through the cemetery envelope and the Annual Summer Appeal is helping to defray the cost of these needed improvements. We are grateful to those who include support of our cemetery in your family obituaries in memory of your deceased loved ones. Thank You!

In August the rugs throughout the St. John Bosco Church complex will be shampooed and the flooring in the Gym, Classrooms and hallways of our Faith Formation Center will be cleaned and waxed. We waited until after the Spring Fling and Vacation Bible Camp. It will be ready for the beginning of our Faith Formation year.

We are currently repairing the outdoor large Nativity figures that are placed outside of the front of our Church in late November through mid-January. Some of the figures need to be touched up and all will be sealed to help in preserving the statues during the harsh winter weather.

Later this summer the three parking lots and driveways of St. John Bosco Church will be repaired, sealed and marked. It has been four years since it was done last.

Money from the Annual Summer Appeal is being placed in the Designated Fund in preparation for a future replacement of the flat roof of the Faith Formation Center which is over 33 years old. Also, in the future, when funds become available, the floor in the gym, eight classrooms and hallways will be replaced.
