SACRED HEART SCHOOL - A Beacon of Faith and Learning

Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea to aid us in our preservation, systems upgrades and restoration of our beloved Sacred Heart School Campus, a place where faith, education, and community have come together for many generations.

Our school has been a cornerstone of Taftville for over 135 years, nurturing young minds and fostering spiritual growth. As we all have experienced, Father time has touched our complex, like all structures of age, our buildings are in need of restorations to preserve the greatness that had been the pride of Taftville since 1909.

We need your help to ensure that we can continue to provide the most safe, nurturing, spiritual environment for our cherished students. We are looking forward to commencing projects for modernizing our systems to make the complex more energy efficient and above all, providing a more comfortable, challenging environment for our future minds to flourish.

The Need:
Our school building, which has been standing strong for decades, is showing signs of its age. From the roof to the foundation, various critical repairs have been proposed to keep our school safe and operational. The most urgent repairs include:

• School Heating System: To provide reliable, energy efficient heating
• HVAC Upgrades: To provide efficient heat & cooling of our Parish Life Center.
• Electrical System Upgrades: Maintain compliance with safety standards.
• Classroom Renovations: To create a conducive learning environment.

The estimated cost to initiate these essential repairs is $68,000. Although this is a significant amount, we are working with several contractors also contributing a great deal of their own time and materials to our foundation.

Why It Matters:
Sacred Heart is more than just a building; it’s a place where children grow in their faith, receive a quality education, and learn the values of kindness, respect, and community. By contributing to this campaign, you’re not just helping with bricks and mortar—you’re investing in the future of our children and the continued mission of Catholic education in our community.


How You Can Help:

1. Donate: Any amount, big or small, will bring us closer to our goal. Every dollar counts!
2. Share: Even if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with your network can make a huge difference.
3. Pray: Your prayers for the success of this campaign and the ongoing mission of our school are greatly appreciated

In Conclusion:
We believe in the power of community and the generosity of those who value faith-based education. Together, we can ensure that the Sacred Heart School remains a beacon of faith and learning for generations to come. Thank you for your support, your prayers, and your commitment to our shared mission.

Ladies and gentlemen, friends and families, with your generosity, we can reach our goals not to make Sacred Heart the Jewel of what it once was, but to achieve a new standard of excellence, without compromise, of what we could be!

May God bless you abundantly for your kindness.
