ACTIVITIES BUILDING — The building next to the
parking lot once known as the CCD Building and
previously as the parish rectory has seen better
days. As you can see by looking at it, the foundation
is falling apart. Inside, the support beams are
dry-rotting and there is no hot water. The furnace is
about dead. Plans are being finalized with the
Brentwood Fire Department to have a “controlled burn”.
The Fire Department will use the building as a
training site. After the building is burned down we
will plant grass until we have enough funds to expand
our parking lot. At this time we are asking any group
organization that is using the building to remove
their items before May 30th. For safety reasons, the
building will be off limits to everyone after May
31st.

(Update 6/22/04: The building has been taken
down. The Diocese for legal reasons would
not permit a controlled burn, nor would the County
grant the Fire Department a permit because of the
proximity of the building to other structures. The
Fire Department had been using the building for other
various training exercises that provides priceless
training for members who volunteer their time and
talents to our community.)
