St. Thomas More Chapel in the Newman Center located next to the Wisconsin State University, now known as The University of Wisconson, River Falls. The sanctuary has been dedicated in the honor of Dorothy & Romy Hammes in appreciation of their gift. This gift was obtained by Bishop George A. Hammes, Bishop of Superior.

Jerry,

Sorry this took so long, but I was doing some thinking.
We always have needs, (why would we be any different)
I have three projects in the plans at the moment, none of which the diocese will fund, fact is they cut our budget.
This is the preferred project that would directly affect the students. We have a computer lab with 4 computers on a broadband connection. The newest of these computers is about 3 years old and the rest are more like 5-6 years old. They just can't do the job. I would like to purchase 4 new computers, networking ready, a new printer and then use the newest old unit as a server. This project would be my preference because it will directly impact our students.

Thanks VERY much, we really appreciate it!
