Parish Campus Maintenance

Some parishioners have been inquiring about the lawn care around the parish campus. We decided this year to contract it out to a private company.

They also did snow removal for us this past winter. From my own personal experience, snow re- moval is a very difficult job here at the parish. I gave up the 4:00am daily alarms in the winter a couple of years ago. We actually saved some money by contracting it out this past winter.
