A Letter to Our Parish & Mission: An Update on Our Future
by Fr. Sheunesu Bowora | 11/08/2026 | ReflectionsDear Parishioners and Mission Families,
We are pleased to share an important update regarding the land purchase for our Mission Parish. As shared in our Flocknote on October 28, escrow opened on October 9, 2026, and the $50,000 earnest money deposit was received the same day. The title report was delivered on October 12. These key steps are now complete, and we are moving forward in the acquisition process.
The next phase includes a property survey, review of the title and survey, and approval from the Diocese of Phoenix. The investigation period is scheduled to end on February 8, 2027, at 5:00 p.m. Phoenix time. This period allows for the necessary review and due diligence before the purchase can be finalized.
If all required conditions are satisfied, closing is currently scheduled for March 10, 2027, subject to completion of the remaining steps.
You will see the detailed timetable with the key dates and status of each step in the bulletin.
This is an exciting and important step toward providing a permanent home for our Mission community. We ask for your continued prayers for wisdom, guidance, and a successful completion of this process. Thank you for your faith, generosity, and ongoing support as we take this next step together.
