Replacement of Walk-in Freezer and Cooler: $57,550

Reminder of Emergency Parish Need

Through this emergency appeal, we ask for your donations towards the purchase of new, walk-in freezer and cooler units. We ask that you contribute via the Parish Share Program’s blue monthly envelopes or with plain envelopes marked “Freezer” or “Parish Share."  Given that our parish has met its Diocesan goal for the fiscal year, we keep 100% of the Parish Share receipts through January.

Last week, we announced that the walk-in cooler and freezer in our school cafeteria had deteriorated in its 53 years of use since it was built in 1955, and has to be completely replaced with new reinforced floor, ceiling, walls, doors, and refrigeration components.

The rooms will be rebuilt during the Christmas break.

Besides school lunches, we use those rooms for the Harvest Home Dinner and the Lenten Fish Fries.

For additional details, please see our earlier announcement .
