Parishioner Elijah Motter saw a need for our pond (which was in bad shape) and recently came to us offering his help. Mr. Motter repaired the pond, cleaned it out, replaced the filters, and added koi. He's been working on it all summer and checking on it after Sunday Mass, maintaining it as needed. Some of the children from the parish even help him feed the fish on Sundays. It's a true labor of love! Thank you so much, Elijah!
