Deacon Bio My name is Deacon Jim Haaf. Bishop McKnight has afforded me the privilege to serve the faithful of St. Joseph/Westphalia and St. Anthony/Folk. I was ordained in 2016 at the cathedral in Jefferson City. My first assignment was to St. Francis Xavier in Taos. This past February, I was appointed as Co-Pastoral Care Coordinator at Westphalia Hills Nursing, and in May, I was assigned to assist the pastor in Westphalia. My wife, Kathy, and I have been married for 39 years and have three children and three grandchildren. We are blessed to have our fourth grand-child on the way at the end of October. Kathy has family ties in Westphalia, and we have a granddaughter at St Anthony’s in Folk. Both of us are excited to serve your communities and we look forward to meeting you, as we transition to your parishes.

Church Renovation Update: 5/23/2019
The roof replacement continues. Missouri Builders is finishing up the install of metal panels on the clerestory roof. The fascia and gutters have been replaced. Tear-off of the clerestory vinyl siding has begun and stamped metal panels will soon be installed. Once the clerestory is com-plete the sanctuary/lower roofs will be replaced. This should all be completed by the end of July.
The brick on the boiler chimney has been repaired and the chimney will soon be capped.
Framing for the new restrooms is complete. Plumbing rough-in has started. Part of the restroom work will be on hold until we determine paint color and wood types to ensure it blends with the overall aesthetics of the interior renovation. A reminder: this work is being completed by our very generous and talented parishioners.
The electrical conduit that is currently exposed in the rear of church near the north steps (by the new restroom) will eventually be boxed in and painted to match the rest of church. It will not be noticeable.
Repairs to the lower windows continue. Most of the lower level stained glass windows have had the storm windows removed and a clear exterior protective layer of glass glazing installed. Some of the obscure glass windows in the stairwells have been replaced with clear glass. Painting of the exterior window wood trim is underway. Repairs to the clerestory windows (upper windows) will not be conducted until the scaffolding has been installed in the church later this fall. Clere-story windows will be removed in October, sent to Wisconsin for repairs, and reinstalled around January 2020.
Conrad Schmitt provided interior painting renditions to aid in interior color and scheme selection. These renditions were viewed by the Phase I and Phase II committees. No decisions have yet been made. The contractor plans to begin around October 1 and hopes to finish around February 2020. For examples of their work please view their website: https://conradschmitt.com/.
Scaffolding bids are still being reviewed. There will be no scaffolding installed until after Octo-ber 1. No pews will need to be removed during the scaffolding phase. The scaffolding will sit above the pews and allow for Mass to continue.
We have two bids for the repairs to the terrazzo floor. A contractor will be selected after we have reached a decision on interior painting to ensure we have a good match. The carpet in the sanctu-ary will be replaced with solid-surface flooring, most likely porcelain tile.
There are also two bids for pew replacement. Like the floor repairs, we are waiting for the interi-or paint scheme before moving forward with pew color and wood choice. This will also impact the replacement of interior wood doors, which will match the wood and color of the pews.
The parish should soon have more precise costs to help budget the remaining portions of the ren-ovation. These include costs for scaffolding, pews, flooring, interior lighting, doors, enhance-ments to the balcony and steps, a new confessional, the clock/bell system, and other miscellane-ous items. These updated budget figures will be shared in a future bulletin.
There will be various projects/tasks in the renovation where parishioner help will be needed. Some examples include: pew removal, sanctuary carpet removal, stairway carpet removal, con-fessional demolition, clean-up each week prior to Mass, etc. If parishioners are willing to assist with these tasks it will help keep renovation costs down. Please consider helping with these tasks when the time comes.
