St. Procopius Wish List
Our beautiful church, school, and grounds are over 125 years old and in need of some tender loving care to reveal their potential beauty and enhance their functionality. We are looking for donors to match the needs on our WISH LIST. If you, or someone you know, is in a position to help us with one of our many needs please contact Fr. Sean O'Sullivan, SJ at 312-226-7887.
Fix Broken Refrigerators - We recieved a donation of 3 large commercial 2 and 3 door fridges for the Rectory kitchen. Once installed, we learned that two of them need new compressors$
:( We have a reasonable quote to fix these valuable assets. Estimated cost: $2400.
10 window unit air conditioners. This hot summer helped us to realize that our old AC units were not working. Any functioning window unit would be of help.
Plants for Gardens: We have enhanced the School entrance and Guadalupe Gardens but they need more shrubs. Contact Fr Jim for specific plants that we seek.
Estimated cost: $1200.
Light Weight Pop-Up Event Tents: Our most important annual fundraiser is our Kermes parish festival, where we block of Allport Street and sell delicious food, cold drinks and listen to live music. The white 10' x 20' tents for sale at Menards are perfect ($135 ea). Light weight, easy to assemble. We could use 4 such tents. Estimated cost: $600.
Light Weight Fold Up PICNIC TABLES: How many times do we drag our old heavy tables and chairs outside for Enchilada sales or for our Kermes. Click Here To See an example of the Folding Picnic Tables These neat, 80# plastic fold up tables are easy to fold up and store. Set them up and they are ready to serve enchiladas. They would work great under our new tents! We could use at least 10 of the Hunter Green 6' or 8' folding tables ($170 - $200 ea) . Estimated cost: $1,700.
Light Weight, Blow Molded, FOLDING TABLES: How about eating those enchiladas on a sturdy and splinter-free table? These economical yet durable folding tables would make the best of your Kermes experience! These great, 30" x 96" plastic folding tables are easy to fold and store. Set them up and they are ready to help you savor those delicious enchiladas. This model is available at Costco for about $110 per table. We could use at least 16 of these folding tables. Estimated cost: $1,700.
Generous Friends of St. Procopius:
Special thanks to Pat and Amy Collins for their generous donations toward re-sealing our parking lot and Epoxy painting our Gym Floor.
Thanks AGAIN to Janet H. and Frank S. from our St Elizabeth Seton Parish who generously donated to our Guadalupe Garden Project. This is their SECOND donation toward the beautification of the Guadalupe Garden! We are most grateful. God bless you through the intersession of Our Lady of Guadalupe!
Thanks to Fr Don Rowe, SJ who arranged for a generous donation to our garden.
We are most grateful to Rick Hileman, of Industrial Fence Corp, who arranged for a generous donation from the American Fence Association. Their donations financed the tuck-pointing of the Chapel face and the beautiful metal gate in front of the chapel.
Thanks to the many family members and friends of Tyler Murray and Lisa Noller who have generously contributed to our Renovation Campaign in honor of Tyler and Lisa's love for each other! Tyler and Lisa exchanged their nuptial vows during a very moving wedding mass inside the now beautifully repainted St. Procopius Church on August 31, 2008. Such generosity deserves recognition!
Thanks to the Coakley Family from Milton Massachusetts for their donation to St Procopius. Much appreciated cousins!
Thanks to the Miguel De Toral Family for the portable 500GB hard drive and for investing in our first pop up tent mentioned above. They seem to work just fine. Light weight and easy to set up. Thanks a light weight ton!
Thanks to George Sloca and Mrs. Beatrice Manak Browning of Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Because of their generosity, our 19th Century crucifix was lovingly repainted. Mrs Manak remembers the crucifix from her childhood when she would touch Jesus' feet as she entered the church. We are also grateful to parishioner and local artist Jackie Negrete, who skillfully stripped and re-stained the wooden cross. View Before and After Photos
