Renovation Update

Fr. Spencer and the Renovation Advisory Committee met via Zoom on Monday August 3rd. The Committee is currently evaluating letters of proposal from two highly-regarded liturgical design studios, one of which will be chosen to develop a master plan for renovating the church. The chosen studio will help to evaluate needs and involve parishioners in the process. Pledges continue to come in; to date, the parish has received distributions totaling $524,998. The initial Bicentennial Campaign improvement project will be the re-surfacing of the church parking lot. Fr. Spencer will meet with the Committee again at the end of August.

Welcome, Fr. Andrew Fryml!

COK is blessed to welcome a third priest to the pastoral staff, Father Andrew Fryml. Fr. Fryml grew up in Spartanburg, completed his seminary training at St. Mary’s Seminary in Houston, Texas, and was ordained at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in 2017.  He comes to us after three years of ministry in Columbia at the Basilica of St. Peter and at Cardinal Newman High School.  Fr. Fryml's duties at COK will be limited, as he will also be serving as Chaplain for Bishop England High School and the College of Charleston. COK welcomes Fr. Fryml warmly!

Storage Space for St. Vincent de Paul

The St. Vincent de Paul Society provides furniture and household items (dishes, linens, pot & pans, beds, sofas, etc.) at NO cost to those in need.  The storage space currently used by St. Vincent de Paul will soon be occupied by ECCO, due to an increase in demand created by the coronavirus.  St. Vincent de Paul needs a new location.
