Housewarming at SKD

The rectory building project is going well. It is our hope to have construction completed by the end of the year and have Fr. Bob all moved in sometime in January. Many of you have expressed a desire to purchase a household item that is needed to get the rectory ready for its inhabitants. In an effort to make it easy for anyone who wants to purchase a housewarming gift, a gift registry has been created to include multiple retailers at myregistry.com. Items have been carefully selected to accommodate the residents of this rectory in a variety of price ranges, keeping household budgets in mind, so anyone wanting to purchase a gift can do so. To search the registry, enter the name Katharine Drexel and a listing of items and locations will come up.

If you prefer to go directly to a store, Crate and Barrel, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Amazon, Menards, Costco and Pottery Barn are the retailers listed on myregistry.com. All searches require the name Katharine Drexel. Gifts can be dropped at the parish office or shipped directly. We are coming up on our 11th anniversary as a parish, and together we have accomplished amazing things. Building a residence for our current pastor, a retired priest, and the clergy of the future is an accomplishment we can all be proud of. Once everything is moved in and Fr. Bob is settled, we will host an open house so the people of SKD can take a tour to see what we have achieved. Look for more information to come after the first of year. Thank you all so much for your generosity, we can’t wait to celebrate this great accomplishment together!
