Our Pastor's Messages HAPPY NEW LITURGICAL YEAR!
This is the First Sunday of Advent, marking a new liturgical year in the Catholic Church. I pray this period is a time of spiritual awakening and renewal as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus. May we open our eyes to the blessing of his incarnation. May Christ Jesus dwell in us so that we, like Mary, may bring Jesus' presence into the world.
God's peace to you, Fr. Frisoni Dear family, Here is an update on the noises in the Church of St. Adalbert. We have experienced unusual sounds and hums during the liturgy. Sometimes, the PA system cuts in and out, making it difficult to hear the liturgy. On Thursday, October 17, we installed an isolation transformer. The electricians advised us this would be a good first step for the currents. On Sunday, October 20, the sound was very good, and we didn't hear any noises or speaker cutouts. This peace and calm lasted one week. Last Sunday, October 27, the speakers cut out and then back on three times during Mass. The saga continues! The sound expert opined last month that the sound system is fine. He suggested that we should resolve the electrical issues in the church. We will now contract with an electrician for major upgrades to our old system. First, we will install a separate electric meter for the church only. At the moment, the church and our parish center share the same service. Second, the ancient push-matic electric panel in the sacristy is disappearing. In its place, we will install a modern "Square D" circuit panel. Last, but not least, we will remove all dimmer switches. These repairs will cost about $11,600. Thank you for your patience and support while we resolve these sound issues. God's peace, Fr. Frisoni |
