On the twelfth day of Christmas a donor gave to me...
12 cabinet doors that open
...11 yards of flooring
...10 feet of countertop
...9 bright overhead lights
...8 new shiny drawer pulls
...7 cubic feet of fridge space
...6 steady stools
...5 drawers that close
...2 new working dishwashers
...a kitchen worthy of us to meet!
If you hadn't heard, St. Josaphat Parish is kicking off a fundraising effort to update the kitchen in the basement of the rectory. If every parishioner participates we can reach our goal so please take a minute to click the link below and see how you can help!
We are planning to make this a welcoming fresh space for small group gatherings and meetings. No donation amount is too small to make this possible. From donating for new drawer pulls, paying for a fresh coat of paint or treating the community to a new kitchen island to gather around we are grateful for all of the help you are able to give. Naming opportunities big and small are available and all donors will be honored in the space upon completion. Wrap up the year helping us create a space for us to gather & grow as a community of faith. Click the link to see the before pictures, there is so much room for improvement.
Thank you to the those that have already given. We are so grateful!
