Renovation Costs
$190,000
$150,000 of this cost is from the interest income on our investment accounts. The principle has not been touched. The remaining $40,000 is coming from our regular funds. Any donations that you would like to give to offset the cost of this project would be most appreciated. A one-time second collection will be taken up on the weekend of February 15-16, 2020 toward the renovation. Thank you.
Fr. Michael Galuppi
