You will notice that long overdue maintenance was done to our rectory:
Replaced Rectory windows, which were over 100 years old: $ 19,382.00
Replaced many damaged shingles, painted and sealed the exterior of the house: $ 11,136.30
Replaced the porch storm windows: $ 16,627.00
Sincere thanks to an extraordinarily generous donation from a single parishioner last summer, we were able to begin the work (see photos below).
The next major priority will be the removal of mold from inside the rectory and painting the interior with mold resistant paint. As you can see, these are very costly repairs. Several workers and volunteers have been quite generous to us. We so deeply appreciate the generosity of the families who are part of the life of O L M. You make it possible for us to return season after season, so that Masses can be offered here.
If you would like to make a Gift to the Parish, please know that all donations go entirely to support Our Lady of the Magnificat Church.
Checks made out to “Our Lady of the Magnificat Church “can be mailed to: Office of the Vicar General PO Box 9023 Rockville Centre, NY 11571
There is also a “text to give” option listed below.
With prayers for you and your family, we (your summer priests) remain
Yours truly in Christ, Fr. Edward Sheridan Fr. Eric Fasano Fr. John McCartney Fr. Frank Colamaria Please consider a donation to our Parish Maintenance Fund.
