We want to invite everyone to our Chapel Open House on Sunday, June 25, at 2:30 PM. We are grateful for your support through prayers, donations, and volunteers to make this renovation possible. Knowing we announced the Chapel renovation on March 25, 2022, and in 15 months, we were able to fundraise and complete 6 phases is incredible; praise be to God! We have much to celebrate, and we hope you and your ministry will join us on Sunday, June 25, at 2:30 PM for a guided tour as we share the various details of our Chapel renovation and the theological significance of what we have done. As a unique way to mark this occasion, we will have a very special gift for everyone who attends our Chapel dedication. Please share with your ministries, as many people contributed to this renovation. St. Francis heard the call to "rebuild my Church," and at the CRC, we continue responding to this call physically and spiritually.

We are excited to share that we received a $25,000 grant from the Marek Family Foundation for our Oblate Hall interior renovation. This project is estimated at $72,700, so we are now over a third of the way through funding. Oblate Hall interior, pending funding is slated for October 2023. We have two more Foundations that we will be applying to, but they require 40% of the funding before submitting a grant. For this project, we need to raise at least $4,080 additional before being able to apply for their grant funds which could fund up to $21,810 of this project. So please consider making a donation.

The Harry S. & Isabel C. Cameron Foundation has awarded the CRC a $13,253 grant for our Ali Center Expansion renovation. This project is slated for August 2023 and is now fully funded. We are expanding the Ali Center by adding a breakout room that was formerly part of the office area. Due to COVID we reduced staff size and have since built back smaller. This will allow us to add storage space as well as a breakout room.
