Storm Update - Wednesday Oct 31

The church and school have power. The parish center power is out. It was ripped out by a falling tree.
The parish office will be open today from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
If you need to charge your cell phones, there are numerous outlets in the church atrium. They are tucked inside the white poles. Please come and use them.
We had 23 trees down. They blocked the church lot entrance and exit, the school lot exit and numerous paths. One tree down in the cemetery. All trees that blocked access have been removed. We are fully open.
Trees hit the school gym roof, the roof over the new school kitchen and the roof of the parish center. Thankfully there is very little damage and no structural damage. One window was broken in a school classroom from flying objects. One light pole at the the school had the lights torn off. The major concern right now is the parish center. The electric was torn off so we must wait for Orange and Rockland. So, our school is ready to open, but pre-k is closed until further notice.
Thank you for all your prayers. Thanks especially to all parishioners who stopped by on Tuesday to lend a hand, especially Tim Cooper. Please be assured of my prayers in the days ahead.
