Tree Service

As some of you have noticed, the large tree in the back parking lot has been taken down. A few years ago we had it trimmed and they told us that it was rotting on the inside and that we may have to take it down the next time it needed service. This past winter, a number of large branches fell to the ground but, praise the Lord, they did no damage to a car or worse land on one of the children of the school. Moreover, this past winter the water from the back parking lot was not draining properly. Over night it froze, causing us to close the lot on Sunday for safety reasons. When investigated, it was determined that the roots of the tree were part of the problem. I know this tree has been a source of beauty and shade for so many parishioners and school children over the long years of its life. It is a shame that we have to take it down but I hope everyone can understand that it needed to be done for safety reasons.
