Lenten Appeal
As we enter into this season of conversion, the Church reminds us of the three pillars of the lenten season: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. A commitment to each is the means of a deeper encounter with our Lord who invites us to journey together toward Good Friday. We encourage you to commit to a Lenten practice that extends toward God in prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
Our Lenten Appeal this year is an invitation to consider your almsgiving in support of a new Heating & Air Conditioning System for our Church. This project will allow us to celebrate Mass comfortably throughout the entire year inside our beautiful church building. Join us too in praying for this intention so as to fully participate in the liturgy and be a place of worship not only for our students, but for the greater community of St. Agatha and St. James.
Our goal this Lent is to raise $50k that will go towards an estimated total project cost of more than $500k, which we will look to raise over the next several years.
We also want to thank you all for your support of our previous Lenten Appeal, which have helped us to complete the following projects:
2024 - Repairs to the Church roof ($11.5k)
2023 - Installation of a new sound system ($8.5k)
2022 - Painting of the interior of the Church ($38.7k)
2021 - COVID Relief ($11k)
