Holy Name Church was constructed in 1988 -- thirty years ago.
We are now facing some serious restoration issues.
The church windows need replacing.
The roof will soon need to be replaced also.
The interior of the church needs attention too. Wood needs re-varnishing. The pews need replacing.
Our Sunday collection only keeps the parish operational. But, the repairs: We need help.

We are a small community so we need help. If you can help us please do so.
DEACON MICHAEL, parish administrator
Thank you for considering helping our parish with its much needed renovations.
The slide show below shows you what we are facing.
And we're a small congregation and we need help. Whatever you can give will help us.
All of our supplies need to be imported which adds to the costs of things. Everything from nails, tacks, paint, lumber, glass windows -- everything is imported and is costly. That's why we need help.
We make a promise of daily prayers to all of our benefactors.
You are prayed for every Sunday by the entire congregation here and the Rosary Guild prays weekly for the needs and intentions of our benefactors. I remember you and your intentions everyday in my prayer. You are also remembered at a monthly Mass said in Rome for your intentions and the Archbishop of Nassau remembers at Mass the benefactors of our local church every day.

OUR NEEDED REPAIR AREAS
UPDATE
DECEMBER 2018
As of December 2018 we've been able to replace ALL of the windows in the church. This at a cost of nearly $20,000 - materials and labour. All paid for, in large part, by the Men's ministry through several fund raisers and also from generous donors.
The new hurricane proof windows are salt resistant and perfect for our climate. Our benefactors have made this possible. God will bless you and your family.
We have also been able upgrade the lighting in the church and the crypt chapel has undergone a re-design.
The roof is our next major project and we need increased funding for this. Please, if you can help we would be grateful. We will still need $20,000 more to undertake the roof project. We already have $25,000 towards the roof. We're aiming for a total of $45,000. So, we need another $20,000 before we can start.
Deacon Michael
