Year End Giving Idea: Support Cardinal Dolan and St. Patrick's Cathedral

Need a year end giving opportunity? How about supporting Cardinal Dolan and his team preserve a New York Landmark? Their planis for the full restoration of St. Patrick’s Cathedral that includes work on the exterior and interior of the Cathedral, as well as its stained glass windows. This work is not cosmetic, but a necessary repair that will ensure that the Cathedral endures for future generations. Missing and loose mortar must be replaced to avoid further damage. The interior needs to be cleaned extensively. It also includes restorative work on the entire Cathedral campus, as well as the completion of a new garden, a public greenspace that will serve as a tranquil place for reflection and meditation at St. Patrick’s. The total cost for this full restoration is approximately $175 million. This is an enormous challenge particularly in light of the ever-increasing needs of our New York community. We are committed to restoring and preserving this magnificent treasure, one that serves to inspire us all, no matter our faith. We have secured the funds necessary to complete the first phase of work, which will ensure the restoration of the exterior of the Cathedral from the Fifth Avenue entrance through the transept. Broken storm glazing panels need to be repaired. Stained glass windows will be restored. Over the next three years, they will be leading an extraordinary effort to raise approximately $50 million to complete the restoration of the Cathedral building. Upon its completion, there will be remaining work on the Cathedral Campus. However, at this juncture, the Cardinal's priority is St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
