I am grateful to share that we have surpassed our Project Advance goal of $40,800. Thank you to everyone who has already given. Now that we have reached our goal, all additional Project Advance donations will directly support our new parish project titled: “Rebuild My Roof.” 

In this Jubilee Year of St. Francis, we are inspired by his response to God’s call to rebuild the Church. Like Francis, we are called by name to help rebuild our local parish home.  

This year, we must replace the 30-year-old asphalt section of the Parish Centre roof. It has exceeded its expected lifespan and, despite several repairs, continues to fail. The project is estimated to cost $150,000. We have raised $50,000 to date and are still in need of $100,000.   

Recognizing the financial pressures many parishioners face, I want to emphasize that every gift matters. I hope that every parishioner can support the “Rebuild My Roof” project in whatever way they can. Even a monthly gift of $5—about the cost of a coffee or a small bucket of golf balls—is greatly valued by God and myself. As a small thank-you and a visible sign of our shared commitment, every donor will receive a “Rebuild My Roof” sticker. 

With gratitude for your support and prayers.

Yours Faithfully, 
Fr. Rich Conlin
