St. Eugene Time Capsule
A time capsule is a historic cache of goods or information, intended as a method of communication with future people.
The original time capsule for St. Eugene’s Church is a collection of items that were buried in the hall outside the old church and removed as we celebrated our 50th Anniversary.  
The current time capsule contains all that original information and a collection of documents and pictures from the 50th celebrations up until the groundbreaking and dedication of the new church.  
The items will be on display in Ross Hall, on Sunday, March 11th after the Masses and again on Monday evening during RE classes. The container holding the items will be sealed and placed in the new church.
Please come and view our history.  If you have anything you feel should be included in the time capsule, call the office or Barbara Main.
