A major capitol improvement for our church

A Major Undertaking
Capital Improvement for our Church

The challenge and cost of maintaining large facilities such as our own campuses can be formidable. Your ongoing generosity and love for our parish makes it possible. We shall soon be undertaking a project that we have been anticipating for some time.

The Most Reverend Bishop has granted his permission for the parish to replace the Air Conditioning Units at St. Anthony Church. The current units have been in use for over thirty years and are beyond their “life cycle.” Moreover, needed materials and parts for their extended use (if at all available) are no longer available.

The financial council has been aware of this need for some time and supports the need to replace the units. The parish has contracted with DGC Controls, of Forked River. The company enjoys a stellular reputation with many churches and schools in our diocese and has serviced our parish for the past 18 years. This plan also includes the addition of a third unit to function independently for the church hall. This was not possible in the past. It is our hope that the work will be completed before the summer heat arrives!

The estimated cost of the project is $315,867. While we have some funds in reserve from a past Summer Project, we shall have to rely on some savings and your continued donations.
