St. Pius Church Remodel: The drywall on the ceiling contains asbestos, to a dangerous level. We have to remove it all. We will then replace the drywall and insulation. We will add to our lighting. We will then replace the carpet and the pews. The estimate of how much this will cost is $135,700.00. Of that amount, we have saved in our improvement fund, $71,161.00 So, we have to save/collect another $63,894.00 in order to do the project. Thank you for your generosity. We are past the half-way point.
Please mark “IMPROVEMENT FUND” on your check. It is a separate account.
Our end result will be a more beautiful place to worship our God and King.
Our goal is to do the work over the summer. That would mean we need to collect the funds by July—is that possible??
