Ci sarà la possibilità di partecipare anche in italiano — non mancate!

Attendiamo di incontrarci con i Parrocchiani per esaminare insieme i progetti di ristrutturazione della rettoria e della parrocchia, inclusi tra questi le riparazioni alle scalinate frontali e il ripristino delle lanterne al portico della Chiesa che incominceranno all’inizio dell’estate; gli interventi per smaltire l’infiltrazioni d’acqua nella Chiesa; e la preparazione per la costruzione di un bagno pubblico sul piano principale della parrocchia la quale e` progettata ad iniziare nell’autunno in concomitanza con i lavori di restauro alla rettoria. L’entusiasmo cresce! Quindi, Vi aspettiamo, domenica, 2 giugno! Ringraziamo tutti i Parrocchiani che hanno fornito i loro dati di contatto per partecipare alla gara di prequalifica per appaltatori.
