After carefully discerning and meditating over all the options, I concluded that the only and best option for our church is to replace the organ with a good quality professional electronic organ. An electric organ is a better and more affordable alternative that should last us for decades without servicing. It is also the last chance to do it at an affordable price, as we see a spike in the price of building materials, and the cost of labor and energy.

Sweeney joined newly ordained diocesan priests, seminarians, and young men, who are discerning their vocation, on Aug. 5 for a Mass and barbecue, sponsored by the diocesan Vocations Office and held at St. Lawrence the Martyr Church in Chester.
