We are reaching out to ask for your support of our parish in this year’s Catholic Services Appeal (CSA), with a
special focus on an important improvement to our parish and school property. The entrance from Commerce
Road into the church and school parking lot has significantly deteriorated. Unfortunately, the damage is
beyond basic pothole repair—it now requires a full tear-off and resurfacing.

We’ve designated this project as part of our CSA initiative, meaning any funds raised over our CSA
goal ($86,216) will go directly toward financing this repair. Our first estimate for the work is
approximately $32,000.

This improvement will benefit everyone who uses the church and school grounds—parishioners attending
Sunday Mass, as well as school families during daily school drop-off and pick-up. It’s a project that impacts
us all and enhances the safety and appearance of our shared space. While the Parish has designated it as
this year’s fundraising, we are asking you to join our efforts.

Our goal is to complete the work this summer so the area is safe, welcoming, and refreshed by the time
the new school year begins. To help us meet this goal, we are asking each family to consider a gift of $100
or more toward this project.
