Parking Lot Lighting

Now that it is getting dark earlier, we’ve have heard from some of you that our parking lot lighting is not bright enough. We currently have the brightest lightbulbs available for our fxtures. In order to install brighter light-bulbs, we will need to update our original fxtures. We take your safety very seriously and would like to ask for your help in updating our parking lot lighting. The retroftting cost will be approximately $8,000. We would appreciate any donation that would help us get the retroftting done as soon as possible.

If you would like to help, donations can be me through Faith Direct, Parking Lot Lighting project or simply drop of a check payable to St. Andrew the Apostle with Parking Lot Lighting notation. Thank you for your generosity!

Our reopening of the Parish Nursery has been postponed as we are finalizing details, but we are so excited and thankful for those who have step forward to make reopening possible. Stay tuned for when we announce the dates for the nursery's official reopening.
