FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
Dear Friends of Chapelle,
As a school and as a family, Archbishop Chapelle High School changes lives. Inspirational teachers, diverse extracurricular activities, and dynamic opportunities in the classroom and in the community prepare our young women to excel not only in college, but also in life. We are continuing the tradition of excellence by recently opening the state-of-the-art St. Joan of Arc Center, made possible because of our many donors and benefactors.
This year, the 2023-2024 Chapelle Annual Fund is raising funds to refurbish and remodel the “round building” which housed the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word when Chapelle opened in 1962. The space currently houses our small daily chapel and the remainder of the space is used for storage. The goal is to convert the first floor into six classrooms to house our Theology Department and to convert the second floor into a larger, more beautiful chapel that would allow grade level Mass. We NEED your help! Your participation in the Fund is critical to the success of continuing the legacy that the Sisters began long ago.
Our goal is lofty. The estimated cost of the construction is $4.5 million to accomplish the renovation. We want you to journey with us and to help us make this dream a reality. Enclosed you will find the renderings of the new Incarnate Word Hall as it will be named as a tribute to the Sisters. You will also find an intent card detailing the various levels of giving. I ask that you consider a gift to help us attain this goal. If financially you cannot support the project at this time, I ask that you still participate by pledging your prayers for a successful fund and by spreading the word to others in the community.
The future of our school will be served by the dollars we raise now. Any contribution is important! We ask that you kindly return your intent card when it is convenient. Please consider a gift of $1,000 or more to join the Legacy Leadership Society. Our Legacy Leadership donors are recognized at a special recognition reception held yearly.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 467-3105 ext. 5109 or by email at cdantagnan@archbishopchapelle.org or contact our Director of Advancement, Mrs. Maria Eaton ’06 at meaton@archbishopchapelle.org.
