Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Confessions will be held 11am-12pm on Wednesdays and Fridays and 3pm – 5pm on Saturdays in the Parish Center, not the Church. Parishioners should go to the double glass doors of the Parish Hall, the entrance close to Lincoln Street. You will take a number at the door and follow this procedure:

• Those waiting will be given a number and they will be asked to wait in their car until their number is displayed on the white board.
• When your number is displayed on the whiteboard, go up to the glass doors where you will be shown into the waiting area in the Parish Hall.
• When a Confessional is empty, you will be directed into a classroom where a priest will hear your Confession.

This procedure will allow for the recommended social distancing as well as limit the spaces in the Parish Hall that will require ongoing sanitizing. Confession pamphlets will be available.

Adoration Chapel is open every day from 6am to 8pm

The Adoration Chapel is open again for prayer but with these health precautions in place:

• The upholstered chairs have been replaced with hard plastic seats that are easier to sanitize.
• All reading materials have been removed, so please bring your own if you plan to read.
• People are asked to wipe down their chairs and the door handles when they leave and to be sure to wash their hands before touching their faces.
• Bottles of cleanser and paper towels are in the Chapel along with hand sanitizer.
• Remember to sanitize your hands after entering the door code & signing in.

St. Marys The Hook Up Bar

By Spencer Seymour, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

With the Town of St. Marys pushing forward with its efforts to address attainable housing, the municipality recently brought together a panel of industry members for an extensive discussion on what the causes are for the current state of the St. Marys housing market, and how the Town might go about helping to rectify those issues.

St. Marys The Hook Ups

At last Tuesday’s St. Marys Town Council special meeting, real estate officials and housing developers joined Council members to discuss the barriers to attainable housing that currently exist, and what the Town could do to help increase housing attainability in St. Marys. The panel was broken up into several rounds with several themes and topics, which will be aggregated into a comprehensive report to be reviewed by the Council at a later date. It should be noted that this discussion was highly extensive and in-depth and this article provides a summary of some of the noteworthy points raised. However, there was an incredible volume of valuable points made during the more than three hours of discussion, too much to be summarized in full here. When the Council reviews the Town staff’s summary of this meeting, we will update you with more on the key takeaways from this meeting.

One of the key themes touched on during the builders and developers segment of the panel was an increase in costs. It was noted that prices for both land and some supplies like lumber have increased, a cost which, at least in part, can get passed on to a tenant in the form of a rental unit’s price. There also is a much greater demand for attainable housing units than there is a supply which has also contributed to an increase in cost. This was mentioned by both builders and real estate workers, as members from both sides of the housing industry pointed out that, if the market had more units available consistently, that competition would push the prices down. However, with so few units available in St. Marys at any given time, it raises the price for everyone. Another notable cost increase relates to the availability of skilled trades workers. With the sharp increase in projects, the demand for trades workers has also sharply increased, but the supply has not kept pace. This means the cost for those workers has increased steeply as those in the trades are in a position to pick and choose which projects they take on and can get developers into bidding wars for their services.

Another interesting item mentioned was a reminder of how much time, effort, and cost goes into a development before it reaches the Council floor or shovels are put in the ground. This includes but is not limited to design preparations, land alterations, and modifications after the initial design phase. Furthermore, concerning a rental unit’s pricing, for large-scale developments, because they are long-term projects, contracts for the development are signed a long time out from tenants actually moving it, so it becomes difficult to adjust the cost of rent in the later stages of the development as project costs have already been stipulated. Often, in multi-tenant rental projects, the only time prices can be adjusted is when a tenant moves out. But, with so little supply of attainable housing in the community, tenants rarely move out. Developers often are met with resistance from the public, specifically those in the area of a new project, which costs the developers more time and money.

St. Marys The Hook Upon

It’s important to reiterate that there were many more valuable points made by the developers, builders, and real estate officials that simply provided too much information to fit into one article and it was clear that there are many different factors in the discussion of attainable housing. As the Town staff collects all of the info received and creates a comprehensive report for Council, we will continue to provide further detail on all of the major points that the Council focuses on coming out of this panel.
