Carillon Donated To CCMChapel
The Chapel is not built, the ground has not been broken, but the Catholic Campus Ministry
Chapel (yet to be named) already has the Carillon and two (of three) bells donated.
At the Easter Vigil Mass, Frances
Capawana said she had a little announcement. The letter that Fr. Lou
Scurti had sent to the $1,000 or more Benefactors requesting their consid-
eration of donating all or part of the Carillon for the New Chapel was received. She
then said: you have the Carillon! Frances Capawana has pledged the $10,000 for the Carillon saying:
The CCMCenter has become my home away from home and I want to support
it.
Three Chapel Bells donated!
In April the Annual Chapel Fund-raising Communion
Breakfast too place, under the able leadership of Jean Reason Mallory and her very capable
committee, made up of WPC faculty & staff.
It was at this breakfast that we were able to announce
the Carillon donation. As we did other supporters and Bene- factors came
forward. Dr. Tina Lescher, Michael & Dana Byrnes and Ms. Rita Lamar have
pledged the donations of the Bells that will be seen in the Bell Tower.
Catholic Campus Ministry is grateful to these
benefactors for their generosity and pledge of support toward the building of the
Catholic Campus Ministry Chapel.
A list of items that may be donated or
pledged as memorials is available from the CCMCenter.

The Catholic Campus Ministry Center has been
the recipient of many wonderful gifts of time and talent through the
years.
In the Autumn, Mr. Roman Kwiatkowski offered
his services to the CCMCenter. Roman is a carpenter, philosopher and artist.
He con- structed the front steps to the center, did many major repairs and, in general,
for the Fall, added a special dimen- sion of service to the CCMC.
In the Spring, Fr. Lou asked Mr. Kwiatkowski
to consider making a processional Cross with a hand-carved ebony corpus of Christ,
from Tanzania. Silently, step by step, Roman put his heart and mind to the
task.
Then one Sunday, Fr. Lou received a
message, the cross is in the garage. What was there was a
wonderfully beautiful processional cross; a royal gift
to the CCM - Center.
Thank you Roman!
The CCMChapel has a larger hand carved Crucifix from
Tanzania on order.
This will grace the Main altar. At
present it is available as a memorial. Call us for info!
