Week 43 - Making Lemonade...

As our area recovers from the worst storm in nearly thirty years, allow me to offer a constructive alternative to the snowblower.

I'm referring to snow statues, one of the premier activities in the snowy tundra that is the Upper Peninsula, where I'm spending my weekend. If ever there was an example of making the best out of a bad (weather) situation, Michigan Tech has it figured out. Enjoy the pictures, even if they're not related to the Parish Campus Project...

..or are they? Certainly, in the building of snow statues, we can witness a community coming together to accomplish a massive project, much as our parish has come together to construct our beautiful new Parish Center. Whether the bricks are clay or snow, use mortar or ice, or finished with paint or an iron, the result is the same: a great example of teamwork.

There's another opportunity this week to get a look at the result of that teamwork. The parish center will be open for walk-throughs this Wednesday, from 5:30-7:00pm. If you weren't able to join us last weekend, be sure to come out on Wednesday to see the place in history we've carved out for ourselves!
