Phase 1: A Warmer, More Efficient Future for St. John Vianney

At St. John Vianney Catholic School, every step we take is guided by our mission to form faith-filled learners and to be good stewards of the gifts God has entrusted to us. Our recent boiler replacement was an unexpected Phase 1—a necessary project to ensure the safety, warmth, and comfort of our students and staff.

This vital upgrade brings with it many blessings:

• Faithful Stewardship of Resources: With a projected 30% savings on our gas bill, we are conserving energy and using our financial resources more wisely, allowing us to invest directly back into the education and formation of our students.
• Smart and Sustainable Operation: On most days, the system will run on just one boiler. During extreme weather, the second boiler will support the first, with both running at lower settings—providing warmth while reducing overall energy consumption.
• Caring for Every Child: With new control valves in each classroom, we can provide consistent comfort for every student, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment where children can grow in both faith and knowledge.

While this project was not part of our original timeline, it now serves as the kickoff to a larger fundraising campaign that will help us make the necessary improvements to sustain our building and structure, while also enhancing the visual appearance of our school.

Your generosity in helping us repay this loan ensures that today’s urgent need is met, while also setting the stage for the many exciting improvements still to come. Together, we are building a stronger, more beautiful home for our children’s education and faith formation.
