5 St. Vladimir Cathedral October State Road Parma, Ohio SAVE OUR STEPS Fund Drive Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever Brothers and sisters in Christ As you enter into our beautiful Cathedral you have noticed that the front steps have been falling apart. The tiles break apart because of our severely cold winters, the hot steamy sunny summers, and all the weather in between. The tiles have been temporarily glued back, but they are unsightly. It is time to have these steps replaced. Contractors have been consulted. The cost of this project is huge. You are aware that our parish has an annual deficit. Our income is much less than our expenses. There is not enough money from donations to pay the day to day expenses. We have a serious financial situation. There is no money to replace these steps. Therefore, we are asking you to fund this Steps Project. The money must be collected before the project starts. The Steps Project will cost $25,000. Remember our founders had so little and gave so much to their parish. Please be generous to fund this Steps Replacement Project and please be generous to the daily needs of your parish. With Sincere Appreciation, Your Parish Board of Turstees St. Vladimir Cathedral October, 2016 SAVE OUR STEPS Fund Drive All gifts of love are appreciated. All donors will be listed in the bulletin.
