The Friends of St. Nicholas was established to support renovation and maintenance projects, like the window project, for St. Nicholas Catholic Church. This is done in cooperation with parish council representatives. With the window project complete, other projects are now being discussed.

The shingles on the north side of the church, above the sacristy, need to be replaced. The original estimate is $18,000 for this repair. Additionally, the window in the single door on the northeast side of the main body needs to be replaced or repaired. While both of these are smaller in scale in comparison to the window project, they represent the types of projects we are asking for you to continue supporting. Our goal, as a committee, is to have funds established so that as these projects arise, we are able to contribute accordingly.
