FUND-A-NEED

Thanks to our generous Fund-A-Need benefactors in 2024, we were able to begin planning, complete needed remedial work, and investigate possible utility upgrades and locations for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC routing. ​

​

The 2025 Fund-a-Need will help fund the first phase of renovations to the basement/parish hall in the Flora Ave school building.

​​​​Phase 1:

Phase 1 will begin during the summer and consist of :

  • Overhaul of men's restroom, including adding natural light, improved ventilation, and new fixtures.

  • Resizing of women’s restroom, including a more private entrance, additional floor space, cleaning storage, improved ventilation, and new fixtures

  • Test replacement of exterior wood-and-drywall walls with plaster over the foundation walls or concrete block/brick half-walls to control moisture

​​​​Phase 2:

​Future work will begin when funds and manpower are available, and when portions of this work will not interfere with the school:

  • Completion of exterior wall removal/reconfiguration where possible

  • Removal of metal HVAC ducting to improve ceiling height

  • Installation of multiple ductless ceiling-mounted HVAC units to improve cooling and heating

  • Removal or rerouting of electrical conduit, data wires, and plumbing pipes from interior area of room to improve ceiling height and aesthetics

  • Additional storage for the kitchen in the rear hallway

  • Addition of modern acoustic ceiling tiles (wood slat or similar) within recessed ceiling areas

  • Encase concrete beams in wood, or similar finish to improve aesthetics

  • Replacement of vinyl-tile floor with durable, level surface (we are exploring various options at present such as polished concrete, or epoxy-based terrazzo)
