Finally, as you all know, the parish is ordering rooftop units for the entire school and gym, due to the old boiler system having failed.  The cost for the new rooftop project is between $620-$723 thousand, which breaks down to about $170-250k for electrical and about $475k for the engineers, new gas line, and 27 HVAC units ranging from 3 to 7.5 tons.  As a church family, we must make sacrifices to support our students and to provide them with an adequate environment.  Please pray that we will be blessed with many generous donors like you to help our school in this time of need.  If you are ready to help our children, please memo your donation as “school.”  Thank you & I love you all, Fr.
