RELATED OPPORTUNITIES

CREATING A SAFE,  COMFORTABLE PLACE FOR MY RETIRED PROFESSIONAL CATHOLIC SECOND WIND GUILD VOLUNTEERS


#1
ST. JAMES CHAPEL





We need about $20,000 to complete the new St. James Chapel. Through my giving retreats in Canada and the Unites States and the generosity of a few friends, we have most of the furnishings paid for: the altar, pulpit, cross, candles, credence table and chairs. Most of all, we desperately need about $20,000 more for the folding glass wall and enclosure above it, as well as lighting and wall painting. 

MY DREAM IS TO HAVE THIS CHAPEL PAID FOR BY CHRISTMAS!

I AM IN THE MOOD FOR ANOTHER MIRACLE. 


#2
CATHOLIC SECOND WIND HEADQUARTERS

Through my speaking engagements and a few generous friends, we have been trying to finish
the area where I will live when I am down there and the area where I will administer the program for retired professional volunteers we hope to bring down. We need about $20,000 more to finish the new entrance, bathroom and bedroom/office. This will include new furniture, lighting, floor replacement (dry rot), carpeting, closet rebuilding, plantation shutters, bathroom fixtures, three doors and lockable mini-office. 









#3
EIGHT GUEST ROOMS

We hope to remodel eight guests rooms for future retired professional volunteers, retreatants and priests/diocesan workers from the outer islands when they come to St. Vincent for diocesan meetings.  We are hoping to update the plumbing, painting, electricity, ceiling fans, lighting, carpeting, air-conditioning and furnishings for about $10,000
each. 





#4


In the future, we hope to tackle the kitchen, meeting rooms, decks, common living room and diocesan offices. 




IMPORTANT NOTICE

Because of mailing costs, the slowness of mail service and import taxes, only money can be accepted.  It also helps the local economy if they buy the needed items there. The money is sent to the Diocese of Kingstown, through a parish in Florida, and is distributed from there by the Bishop of Kingstown, SVG.
