SAINT PATRICK’S BASILICA RESTORATION FOUNDATION
Since Saint Patrick’s Day of 2012 we have been appealing to you to help us raise
$500,000 to cover financial overruns in previous restoration projects and to raise
money to help finance urgent repairs to our small towers or
Pinnacle Project and our Chimney Project.
To date we have collected $250,306 and thank you for your
generosity.
The Pinnacle Project was completed in December 2013. We thank
the Conseil du Patrimoine Religieux du Quebec for funding 70% of
the cost and Parks Canada for a grant of $100,000 under their
Cost-Sharing program for National Historic Sites. Next on the list
is the chimney BUT we still need to reach our goal of $500,000
in order complete the project and help with cash flow.
We need your help, please make your donation to the Saint Patrick’s Restoration
Foundation where the full amount is put towards restoring our Basilica. All
donations will receive a receipt for income tax purposes.
Thank you, Mary McGovern mcgovern@stpatricksmtl.ca
