New Roof Project https://www.saintboniface.org/2025/04/06/new-roof-project/ https://www.saintboniface.org/2025/04/06/new-roof-project/#respond Sun, 06 Apr 2025 16:50:24 +0000 https://www.saintboniface.org/?p=11428 After years of patches, it is time to replace our Church, School and Rectory roofs.

Dear St. Boniface Family,

I am writing to ask for your financial support for some significant work that needs to be done
at our parish. I understand that there is never a good time to ask for money and I promised
that I would only ask when it is truly needed. That time has come.

After years of patches and temporary repairs on the Church, School and Rectory roofs, it is now time to replace them. They have all reached the point where further delay could result in significant damage to these buildings that have served generations of St. Boniface families.

Our Building Committee and Finance Council have carefully evaluated the recommendations of the diocesan construction office and our roofing contractor, and our conclusion is that replacing these roofs is not a choice but a necessity. Continued patching will only lead to more expensive repairs, potential damage to building interiors and increased maintenance costs.

  • Phase 1: Church Roof Cost: $160,000 Spring 2025
  • Phase 2: School Roof Cost: $110,000 Summer 2025
  • Phase 3: Rectory Roof Cost: $30,000 Fall 2025

I understand every household has a different financial situation. Therefore, the appeal has a few ways of giving. You may choose to give one lump sum or multiple installments that work with your budget.

  • Sunday Collection: Place your gift in any envelope marked “New Roof Project” and drop it in the weekly collection basket or at the Parish Office.
  • Electronic Giving: Donate through Faith Direct, Venmo, or your Bank’s online bill pay.
  • Corporate matching gifts or IRA Distribution.

While I recognize the challenge this presents, addressing these needs now will prevent more costly repairs in the future. All contributions are tax-deductible, and receipts will be provided for your records. Every gift, regardless of size, helps us protect our parish buildings for future generations.

I am available to meet with any Parishioner who has questions about this important project.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me to schedule a meeting to discuss the project details, timeline, or any other concerns you may have. Updates on the progress will be shared weekly and shown on the Appeal Thermometer in the Church Vestibule.

Thank you for your understanding and generous support of this essential project.

Fr. Josef

The Church around the world looks toward 2025 as the Jubilee Year of Hope marking the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation of our Lord. 

As the Holy Father explained in his February 2022 letter regarding the Jubilee Year: “We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desired…”
