Dear St. Peter Family,

I pray you are well and enjoying these summer days. I’m grateful to share a brief update on our rectory project that finally lets you see the home our parish has been working toward.

For the first time, we are able to share design sketches, renderings, and a short video walkthrough of the future rectory. Many of you have asked what the building will look like and now you can experience the vision yourselves. It’s an elegant, welcoming design that reflects the heart of our parish community and harkens back to the time when our parish church was built.

As we move toward our goal of beginning construction in July 2027, we are entering the stage where costs need to be finalized. The yellow envelopes are a wonderful way to be part of this next step. You can also support the project online. Every offering goes fully and directly to the rectory building fund, and each gift — no matter the size — helps keep the momentum going.

This rectory is not being built for me, but for the priests who will serve you and your families long after my time. Supporting this project is a way of strengthening the future of our parish, ensuring that those who come after us have a stable and welcoming home.

And I truly hope you’ll join us for the Grand Auction on October 10th. The generosity, the laughter, the friendly bidding, creates a spirit that lifts the entire project forward. Every item donated, every paddle raised, every person in the room adds to the excitement. All proceeds from the auction will go directly toward the savings needed to build the rectory.

Thank you for your prayers, your kindness and your steady support. It is a blessing to watch this project come to life with you.

With gratitude,

Fr. Tomasz Strzeboński
