We are raising money to repair the skylight window and the stained glass over the altar because of a bullet that hit overnight July 31, 2024 to August 1, 2024. We would like to repair it as quick as possible. The estimated cost to repair just the window and the stained glass is around $16,000. Your generosity is much appreciated. As you recall, we replaced all the skylight windows with new windows, repaired the stained glass over the altar and upgraded to LED lighting back in April of 2022. That project lasted about three and a half months.
We would also like to repair one additional stained glass window that faces Main Street that has a hole in it. Estimated cost to repair this section is around $4,000.
Your gifts from last year's North Texas Giving Day helped us with our pew modification and automated door project. We took sections out of the pews to accommodate seating for our guests dependent on wheelchairs and walkers or those families with strollers. We also outfitted two sets of our door with automatic entry, again to assist wheelchairs, walkers and strollers. It also has proven beneficial to our senior guests who might not have the strength to open the heavy doors. Thank you for making this possible.
We have several other projects that we would like to address as part of our Project 55+ initiative. We will take some time to raise more funds before tackling any of these (with the exception of the Main St. stained glass and the Skylight window and stained glass):
Thank you for your consideration, support, and ongoing generosity.
“The good we do lives on after us and it must give you [Mr. Hughes] much satisfaction and pleasure to have realized a long held dreame [SIC] at last.” John Kebrle to Monsignor Arthur Hughes May 21, 1968
The mission of St. Jude Chapel is to maintain a Catholic presence in downtown Dallas to serve the business community, the residents, and visitors with daily Mass and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The chapel is dedicated to Saint Jude, patron of hopeless cases, and people of all denominations are encouraged to use the chapel for prayer and meditation and to ask St. Jude to intercede for them so that their spiritual needs can be met.
Repair the skylight window and the stained glass over the altar because of a bullet that hit overnight July 31, 2024 to August 1, 2024 estimated at around $16,000.
Repair of an additional stained glass window facing Main St. estimated at $4,000.
There are several outstanding items from our Project 55+ initiative that funds raised would go to support.
