 Six windows depict the Blessed Mother as presented in the Old Testament. Two windows are of the Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The choir loft, flanking the organ, will be St. Cecelia and St. Gregory. The remaining eight windows will include St. Bernadette and St. John XXIII to name a few. A separate article will follow with more window details.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS
Our present stations will be enhanced to match the altars to Our Lady and St. Joseph.
SANCTUARY
The sanctuary will be covered with a more noble enhancements that include decorative borders and religious symbols that include the four evangelists.
The furnishing for the sanctuary will change including seating for servers, deacons and the priest. Renderings are still in the initial planning stage.
The ceiling decking or apse over the sanctuary will be hand painted with a beautiful mural that places Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception at the center. Our Lady will be surrounded by a cloud of witnesses that include many Saints of old and some much more recent saints. This glorious scene will set the sanctuary apart and raise the heart and mind of young and old toward heaven.
Future articles will treat the sanctuary in detail.
NAVE & LIGHTING
Many parishioners and visitors comment that our nave is very bright. This current project will utilize light in new and powerful ways, not the least of which will be the stained glass windows reflecting the celestial light into our beautiful church. The ceiling will depict eight scenes from the life of Our Lady. Beginning with the Annunciation and ending with Mary at the foot of the cross.
In short, 2021 promises to be an exciting year that will not be without its inconveniences and adjustments to change. But the ultimate goal of this renovation is to be inspired to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.

Noh Theater is the traditional Japanese performing art, which combines the disciplines of Noh drama and Kyōgen. It developed during the 14th century's Muromachi period (1333 － 1573), although it's roots can be traced even further back to the 8th century. It is the world's oldest existing form of theater.

It’s Friday; let’s get crazy and do some math.
But first, a bit of tax parlance. The U.S. tax system prides itself on being “progressive.” Put simply, a progressive tax system is one that intends to collect more tax as a taxpayer’s income increases. It’s the opposite of a flat tax; rather than taking from every Americ at the moment, when calls for tax reform are echoing throughout the halls of Congress — is that any large-scale change to the Code must maintain the progressivity of the current tax system. Stated differently, if changes to the Code result in more tax savings for the rich than the poor, well…that’s a problem.
And this is precisely the crux with the majority of plans to overhaul and simplify the tax system: they tend to lose progressivity. Here’s why:
Most policy wonks agree that individual tax reform must consist of two components: reduced tax rates and base broadening.
Lowering the tax rates are the easy part. In theory, higher tax rates – such as the ones that exist currently – lessen people’s incentive to work and save. Lower the rates, the theory goes, and the nation’s lazy spontaneously pop up from their futons and hit the streets, looking for gainful employment.
Obviously, if you lower rates tax revenue is diminished. But how much is it diminished? That depends on who you believe, but for illumination, let’s take a look at a recent high-profile proposal for reform and its reported ffects on tax revenue.
When running for President, Republican candidate Mitt Romney proposed making sweeping tax cuts. Those cuts can largely be broken down into four categories:
1. The individual income tax rates would be reduced to 8/12/20/22.4/26.4/ and 28%.
2. For taxpayers earning less than $200,000, the tax rate on interest, dividends, and capital gains would be 0%.
3. The AMT would be eliminated.
4. The estate tax would be eliminated.
In mid-2012, the geniuses at the Tax Policy Center crunched the numbers and quantified the lost tax revenue resulting from these proposed changes. Keep in mind, the TPC was comparing the Romney proposal to a baseline where the Bush tax cuts expired for all taxpayers at the end of 2012, leaving a rate structure of 15/28/31/36/39.6%. Obviously, these rates are different than the rates actually emanating from the year-end fiscal cliff deal, because when the smoke cleared on January 1st, 2013, we were left with rates of 10/15/25/28/33/35 and 39.6%. Despite this variance, the TPC’s report still serves as a useful analysis of the effects of rate reductions on tax revenue.
The TPC concluded that reducing the rates as Romney proposed would cost the U.S. government $360 billion in lost revenue, broken down by income categories as follows:
Obviously, a couple of things stand out. First, the wealthiest taxpayers benefit the most from the reduction in rates. This makes sense, as the drop from a 39.6% to a 28% top rate is extraordinarily meaningful to someone earning in excess of $1,000,000. On the other end of the spectrum, those earning less than $30,000 would have actually seen their tax burden increase due to the scheduled expiration of certain tax preferences that target lower-income taxpayers, like the refundable child tax credit and the expanded earned income credit. For these taxpayers, the reduction in tax rates from 15% to 8% would have been more than offset by the expiration of some of their favored tax preferences.)
