St. Peter’s Church and Prince of Peace School will be undergoing this replacement project during the months of July and August.

As we all know, everything has gotten much more expensive over the past few years. We are paying more for groceries, for gasoline, for the energy to heat or cool our homes. And then, there is sometimes an unexpected expense that needs to be taken care of immediately, like a car breakdown or home repair.

Our parish finds itself facing one of those unforeseen repairs. The building, including the school, needs a new roof. The school board has contracted to have the work done; they will be paying for most of this, as the school is the largest portion of the building. However, we will need to pay for our share, which will be around $144,000.

We certainly understand that most of us have tight budgets right now. We wouldn’t want anyone to go without food or gas, or any other basic necessities. Our families and our personal economic stability are primary responsibilities. But if you can find some way to give a little extra to help cover the cost of the roof, as well as perhaps a little more in your regular weekly donation to help with the increases the parish is also experiencing in its normal operating expenses, it would be greatly, deeply appreciated.

This is our church, your church; it is our home, the home of our parish family. The parish relies on our contributions to keep the doors open, the lights on, and the roof over our heads! So please, help us to whatever level you can. And, in addition to your financial support, please pray for all those who work to keep things running here.

Donations for the roof replacement project can be made in any of the ways outlined on the Donate page. Envelopes for the roof replacement project can be found on the bulletin board shelf at the main entrance of the church.

Thank you for your generosity and support in advance.
