Construction Update #2 - June 30, 2009
Our scaffolding now surrounds the bell tower, where much of the work in the coming weeks will take place. Tuckpointing has begun on the east elevation, and grinding on the tower will begin, as the upper levels are documented and disassembled.
Some roof deterioration has been discovered near the bell tower. The roof cricket has significant damage/decay, which was not visible when the slate and flashing were in place. This damage will be repaired. The roof decking adjacent to the south gable slope roof, and extending along the west slope, also shows evidence of some decay. Further investigation and repairs will take place.
Inspection of one of the columns took place from the exterior of the building, and revealed that the underlying wood (Douglas Fir) was free of wood decay. The trusses will be inspected from inside the Church to confirm accuracy of the drawings and actual field performance, which will require a boom lift inside the Church. The concrete floor structure under the main entrance will be temporarily shored to accommodate the weight of the boom lift.
Mortar mock-ups, showing mortar color choices and joint profiles, were reviewed and selections have been made (natural white mortar color, and flush joints) to match the original appearance. Silicone sealants will be used around the windows, with additional samples to be provided before selections are made.

Gathering of the Parish Community
Our parish leadership meets on the first Monday of each month. Each parish leader is a member of one of our 5 Coordinating Groups, and those coordinating groups meet from 7:00 until 8:30pm. Representatives from each of the Coordinating Groups serve on our Parish Pastoral Council, which meets from 8:30 to 9:30pm that same evening.
Each year, we hold a Gathering of Ministers, which this year we called our Gathering of the Parish Community. This gathering is held to recruit new members on our coordinating groups.
Please consider joining one of our Coordinating Groups - Administration, Community, Faith Development Outreach, or Worship - and offering an hour of your time each month in service on behalf of your parish community. Our next Leadership Meeting will be held on Monday night, July 6, from 7:00pm to 8:30pm, in the Fitzgerald Chapel. Please come to see these Coordinating Groups in action and the work they do on behalf of St. Athanasius Parish.

Planned Offertory Goal 2009
Everything we have is a gift from God. Sharing of ourselves and our financial resources is a way to give back in gratitude, a way to say thanks be to God.
As we plan our Parish Budget for the coming Fiscal Year (July 2009-June 2010), we make many decisions based upon our anticipated revenue and expenses. In February, we asked all parishioners to complete and return a Planned Offertory Goal card, telling us how much you felt you could contribute to St. Athanasius in the coming year. In addition to assisting us achieve a balanced budget, your participation in setting a personal yearly goal for financial stewardship toward your parish becomes a concrete way for you and your family to be attentive to the gifts God has granted, be they financial, time to share, or special abilities to use.
It is not too late to turn in a Planned Offertory Card. Extra cards can be found in the back of church. Thank you for your continued generosity to St. Athanasius Parish.

St. Athanasius Women's Club 2008/2009
Our Women's Club does many things for the St. Athanasius Parish community. They purchase altar wine, altar breads (Communion hosts), purificators and hand towels for Mass; they maintain and clean the vestments and cloths used for the altar; they enhance the worship space every weekend with beautiful flowers. The Club supports and staffs the monthly Monday Soup Kitchen, supported in large part by donations of food and money from members. They conduct an annual Coat Drive for the Howard Area Community Center in November, and last year the Club supported the USO, Meals at Home, our own Angel Ball, the Evantson Shelter for Abused Women & Children, the Family Program Scholarship Fund, and the St. Athanasius Parish St. Vincent de Paul Society.
Membership is open to all women in the Parish. For more information about becoming a member, please contact Sue Harmon at 847-491-9197 or Bridget Hotchkiss at 847-733-0219.
