A
Capital Campaign The Churches of St. Peter and St. Joseph are embarking on an exciting project to update our facilities at the St. Peter’s campus. The project will include a new Adoration Chapel, a gathering hall to seat 100 people, air conditioning for St. Peter’s Church and the new facility, and a long awaited handicap access. The elevator will have access to three levels of the building and enclosed ramp from main level to second level of school. The gathering hall will seat 100 people or change into 3 classrooms of 30. Air conditioning of the new facility and St. Peter's church. The adoration chapel will be secure and well lighted. The cost of the project is $2.3 million dollars. Since our last campaign of Hands to the Future, we have $186,000 in savings which includes all costs up to this point. So the goal is $1.9 million dollars to be raised. We are saving $30,000-$50,000 by not hiring a fundraising company and using volunteers to handle the fundraising. The co-chairs of the project are Joe Herzog and Tom Janas. How are we going to reach this goal? If 40 families pledge $21,000 over 3 years, 75 families pledge $5400 over 3 years and 320 families pledge $2340 over years, we should raise $1,953,800. Subcontractors will welcome to bid on the project as information is available. If you would like to help us with this project financially, volunteering, etc, please contact the parish office. We are accepting donations by cash, check or credit card.
