As many of you have seen, the Baptistry roof has been leaking for years. This summer Fr. Charlie has teamed up with a consulting agency to conduct a professional assessment for this leak. The same consulting agency reviewed multiple vendor bids to help us determine which company to work with to make the necessary repairs. The bottom line is that the repairs will cost $40K, and we need your help to pitch in! Please consider increasing your online offertory this weekend to help cover the cost of roof repairs. This repair will allow our Baptistry area to be safe and beautiful. The water infiltration assessment report and the bid analysis report are available on our website. We thank you for your generosity in advance! To donate, click this URL https://tinyurl.com/ybfsr2jn or scan the QR code.
