Saint Michael's Church Roof Project
Saint Michael’s Church is leaking and must be replaced. Spot repairs are being made on an ongoing basis but the time has come to replace the slate tiles and waterproofing materials.
Because of this a fund raising project is underway and we sincerely ask for your support.
Roof Replacement Fund
Previous total: $370,456.45
Recent donations: 810.00
Total donations as of 04/30/2025: $377,266.45
In the event you missed the update given at Masses last week: work on the roof will begin soon with permission from the Diocese. A new contractor (“Right Solutions of Shelton”) has been hired as the previous contractor never included pricing for removing and replacing the chimney and for much needed work on the tower. This contractor actually went up into the tower (the only one to do so) and all this work will now cost about an extra $100,000 to reach total $464,000. A deposit of $197,000 has been given because it is important to note that materials have been purchased as costs for them are expected to increase very soon. Once again we are asking for your support to cover this additional cost. Your giving for this project has been amazing and so supportive. God bless and thank you!
God Bless all our donors.
A special thanks to the United Polish Emmigrants Wawel Group who recently disbanned and donated the balance of their funds, $10,389.60, to our roof replacement fund. We are indeed grateful!
Won’t you help?
As we have not yet raised the required funds to replace the roof, donations may still be made. Every amount is greatly appreciated and is in a restricted account to only be used for the roof replacement. Thank you to so many who have given – it is a sacrifice and heartfelt gesture of love for your parish – and is a huge and necessary undertaking!
Thank you for continuing to send in your donations and pledges for the sacrifices you are making for our beautiful Church.
Thank you to those who have given – it is a sacrifice and heartfelt gesture of love for your parish. There are 770 households in the parish. If you have not had an opportunity to donate to this very important fundraiser, please prayerfully consider making a donation – every amount counts! God Bless and Thank you; Bog Zaplac!
Please note that originally we had a deadline of January 31 for donations to be made, but since we have not reached our goal we will continue to gladly accept donations until we reach the necessary funds. Please pray for the success of this endeavor!

These images show the missing bricks and the lack of mortar which desperately needs to be repaired before the structures fail. Please give to the roof project to help save this historic structure.
Saint Michael's Roof - Emergency Repairs
Emergency Repairs were made to the Saint Michael’s Church roof the week before Christmas 2024. The side of the roof was over the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Convent Roof - Emergency Repairs
…The Convent Roof has been leaking to the point that water was damaging the inside of the convent despite several years of patching up leaks, so there was no alternative but to replace the roof and this was done recently. The work was done by Piotr Wojenski Restoration Company.
Special thanks to Ryszard for the overseeing the project and these videos and photos.
