St. Mary’s parish Roof Fundraising Appeal: We sincerely thank all those who have
generously contributed for parish roof fundraising. We are inviting you to consider
prayerfully giving a onetime gift of donation/contribution that will go towards re-
shingling the Church roof.
If you are able to include a onetime gift along with your regular donation please indicate
that your extra gift is going towards the Church roof.
A generous couple of St. Mary’s Parish has offered to match all the funds we raise to re-
shingle the roof up to the cost of the project! Verseli Construction has been awarded the
job for a cost of $ 19,577.25. We count on your support.
So far St. Mary’s Parish has raised $ 15,090=00 for the Church Roof! Thanks to all who
generously donated to this project!
