Celebrating the Gift of God’s Love

2023 Spring Fund-a-Need

Help replace our aging boiler! 

Currently we have two boilers which are used to heat the parish and regional school buildings. The Kewanee is 75 years old, and the Pacific is 60 years old. 

Our aging boilers have provided heat for the community for many years.  Both the main and backup units are nearing their end of lifespans, so it’s time to look at modern alternatives.

For more information, See the Fund-a-Need flyer or donate now.
