An Invitation to Help!


Alongside the fresh autumn breezes, excitement still hangs in the air here at Saint John’s Seminary, with our full roster of young men studying for the priesthood and the recent completion of Phase I of the Our Lady of the Presentation Campus.  While we are very proud of this milestone as proof of our commitment to the community, there are still miles to go.  Today we write to ask for your help with Phase II of the Our Lady of the Presentation Lecture Hall and Library.  This phase will include:

Securing the Envelope: Restoration of the roof, stonework, upper level windows and exterior doors.

Interior Enhancement: Completion of new security and fire systems, sound system, passing of pews and initial work on heating and air conditioning.

The Rectory: Painting of exterior and renovation of the first floor to include Conference Rooms, Kitchen, and a residential area.
