“Cool Air, Warm Hearts: Keep St. Patrick’s Church a Place of Welcome”

Goal: $5,000 toward a $45,000 A/C replacement

On this Giving Tuesday, our #iGiveCatholic campaign at St. Patrick Parish isn’t for something flashy—it’s for something essential: replacing the air conditioning in our church.

Our A/C system has reached the end of its life. The total cost of replacement is $45,000, and we’ve set an online goal of $5,000 to help us get there.

Why give to A/C?

Because when we take care of this big, hidden expense now, we can keep directing our regular offertory and parish funds where they belong—toward ministry and direct aid to those in need.

Last year alone, St. Patrick Parish was able to give $28,000 in direct aid to the poor. Your gift to this campaign helps make it possible for us to continue that kind of generosity.

A functioning A/C system means:

• A comfortable, welcoming place for people to encounter Jesus in the Eucharist.

• A safe space for the elderly, the sick, and families with young children to worship.

• A church that remains open and hospitable for daily Mass, confessions, Adoration, OCIA, and parish events—especially during our hottest months.

By supporting this campaign, you’re not just “paying for air conditioning.”You’re helping us steward our parish well, so that more of our budget can stay focused on the Gospel, the sacraments, and the poor.

Thank you for helping us keep St. Patrick’s Church cool, prayerful, and welcoming
