Product Description
Donate a shingle donation to Guadalupe Men's Vita Dei House.
The roofer came. He saw. He guttered. Shinglehandly, he nailed it!
Guadalupe Men's Vita Dei House is home to five men (the house can house 8 men total) who are in various stages of discernment or who wish to live in Catholic community. The jolly fellow with the umbrella, pictured with a fundraising table at a men's conference, is one of the house residents.
What was Dave collecting for? A new roof and gutters for Guadalupe House! $19,172 needed (detailed estimate below). Collected as of June 24: $9561. See the photo of the model house to get a visual image of how much money has been raised so far.
To Raise as of June 24: 9,521
In the Guadalupe House cardboard model, each shingle represents a $20 donation.
We know shingles don't cost $20 each, but a $20 donation for each of the 1000 shingles on the cardboard model house, crafted by Mike, another house resident, would meet the cost of this necessary roof and gutter repair on the actual building.
Can you sponsor one shingle for $20? More than one? If everyone viewing this appeal would donate one shingle ($20), the cost of the roof would soon be covered. All donations are fully tax deductible.
Please give generously to this necessary expense! God bless you.
Progress on the roof and gutters and on Guadalupe House in General, see this link.

For information on honoring a priest in Mary, Mother of Priests Chapel in Guadalupe Men's Vita Dei House ($180 per sponsorship), see this link. At this time, all priest sponsorships will go toward the roof and gutter repair.
Checks and money orders made out to "Confraternity of Penitents Renovations Fund" can be mailed to:
Confraternity of Penitents Renovations Fund, 1702 Lumbard Street, Fort Wayne IN 46803 USA. In the check memo line, write, "Roof and Gutter Repair Donation."
With God's help, this will be done! Please pray about how you can help, and then "do whatever He tells you."
May God bless you for your support!
