Drumroll please! Our latest fundraising total has reached $1,108,611. Incredible! And what's even more incredible is that from January to the end of July this year, you gave $95,000. That same period last year saw a total of $61,000. We are so blessed and thankful for your continued support. We couldn't do this without you! To find out about all the various ways you can contribute to this cause, visit us at sskpreservation.org.

Property update! A bid for the remediation of the mold in Kolbe Hall came in just shy of $100,000. As for the renovations, we will probably have two bids to work with. The first was "more favorable than expected," according to Skanska. Thus the bid will be closely reviewed to ensure the bidder did not miss anything and that all items line up with the scope of the project. Lastly, we've received a bid of $119,000 for the demolition of the rectory, with more bids to follow. None of this would be possible without your generosity. Whether your gift is small or large, every penny helps us make the preservation of our beautiful church a reality. Visit us at sskpreservation.org to see all the ways you can support us!
