Msgr. Duca's 2006 Christmas Wish List -- A Success!

A tradition for HTS is Msgr. Michael Duca's Wish List.  He makes his list and checks it twice.. asking Faculty, Staff, and Seminarians to contribute ideas for the Seminary Wish List.  We try to put items both big and small and then ask our generous benefactors to select items to donate or send checks to help out with our most basic operational needs -- AND even some of our wants that would either make jobs easier or more efficient. 

Happy New Year and our deepest thanks to each of you who have already sent in donations totaling over $18,500!

We hope you enjoy just reading the list below.. some items are still needed!  Keep in mind, HTS is a 100,000 square foot building housing 37-50 Seminarians per semester, with all the needs of a very large home! 

UPDATE: We also just heard from our Seminarians and Fred Michaels, our Maintenance Chief, that almost all the washing machines in the basement are not functioning! One is leaking all over the floor.  By January, we will need to replace 4-5 heavy duty machines to handle the daily use by our Seminarians who do their OWN washing.  If you'd like to help, let us know --- please call:
(972) 438-2212, Ext. 505.

  What would we DO without YOU -- our very own Christmas Angels!  May God reward you for your kind hearts and thoughtfulness towards HTS.
