Dear Parishioners,
Over the past several weeks, St. Paul Chong Hasang Catholic Church has entered into a time of prayer and discernment through an Exploratory Process as we consider the possibility of renovating the interior of our church.
As part of this important process, we are inviting all parishioners to participate in a Parish-Wide Survey. Your input is vital as we seek to discern what God is calling us to do—together.
The areas being explored include:
· Sanctuary Enhancements: Central placement of the tabernacle, statues of Mary and St. Joseph, a new reredos behind the altar, murals of the Korean Martyrs, updated flooring, wood enhancements, and layout adjustments.
· Nave Improvements: A new baptismal font at the entrance, new flooring, improved seating and kneelers, lighting and ceiling updates, elevated Stations of the Cross, stained glass windows, and the conversion of the family room into an Adoration Chapel with exterior access.
· Narthex Updates: Additional interior windows, repurposing the Bride’s Room, statues of saints including Korean Martyrs, enshrining Fr. Richard’s Irish Penal Cross, ADA enhancements, and restroom improvements.
· Music & Sound Enhancements: Potential installation of a new organ, acoustic improvements, church bells, and choir loft upgrades.
· Security Improvements: A new camera system for both interior and exterior security.
We invite every member of the parish to take just a few minutes to complete the survey and share your feedback.

(2025/06/21) Matthew 6:24-34
My heavenly Father, you know what I need even before I ask. You provide me with food and drink, both earthly and heavenly. You clothe me in the robe of righteousness and shelter me under your wing. Help me to trust in you more fully and abandon myself to your loving care. Jesus, your Word provides examples of sinners who foolishly chose the path to death, and of saints who wisely chose the path to life. I choose life, and I ask you to guide my steps always.
