Raise the Roof
In preparation for our 100th anniversary (in 5 years) we are scheduling to take care of some deferred maintenance issues such as the flat roofs of the basilica. For years we have been evaluating the need to repair or replace the flat roofs of the basilica which were repaired over 30 years ago. Total estimated cost to repair all the flat roofs, pitch the roof, window sealing and glazing along with contingencies is $1,450,000. Please consider making a gift to protect our basilica and ensure the safety of all who enter under our roof.
