In May 2025, we became aware that the windows at the St. Charles Borromeo church were losing their seal and were no longer efficient. As a result, the double pane windows are collecting moisture between the panes, and we are experiencing heat loss and an increase in heating expenses. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to cover the cost of the window replacement project and keep funds for future renovations when needed. Part of our fundraising efforts include a “Buy a Window” campaign to allow people to put money towards the purchase of a window to honor a loved one or in memory of a loved one who has passed away. Each window costs approximately $375 to replace the panes. A plaque will be created noting their contribution in their loved one’s name. This plaque will be displayed in the back of St. Charles Borromeo church. If you are interested in “purchasing a window,” you may stop by the rectory to fill out a form, or ask one of the committee team members (Arnold Martin, Jenelle Jandreau, Malvia Landry, Patti Voisine, Karen Jandreau, and Lorie Voisine) for a form that you can fill out and drop off at the rectory. Thank you so much for your generosity.
