Letter from Father Berkmans

1Date: March 26, 2022

Parishioners of Holy Family Catholic Church in South Fork

This is to notify you that Bishop Berg and the Diocese Finance Council have made two decisions regarding the damage at Holy Family Church.  The first decision is to remove both side buildings as the damage to the adobe is too great. The Sacristy will be moved to inside the Church under the choir loft where a framed room and door will be constructed, the back of the Church will be framed sealed and painted and new front doors will be installed.   The second decision is to remove and replace the existing roof with shaker composite roofing material to preserve the Church’s abode walls.  With the installation of the new roof, all issues with water collection and drainage will be addressed.

The total project costs are as follows:
Removal of buildings and building new Sacristy:  $24,750.00
New roof and new drainage installation:  $67,052.00
Total Cost:  $91,802.00
Gift to the Church: -$10,000.00
Insurance Claim  -$10,839.00
Balance:  $70,963.00

We have secured a Loan of $67,052.00 to replace the roof, which needs to be paid back. Therefore, we are beginning a Holy Family Repair Campaign in hopes of collecting enough donations to repay the loan in a timely manner.

Removal of the 2 side buildings will begin soon while waiting for the roofing materials to be shipped.  Without these repairs Holy Family Church would not have been safe to continue our weekly Saturday Mass.

 We offer our Sincere Thank you to Bishop Berg in allowing us to repair this Church and keep it open for all. 

Father Albert Berkmans
