Donate — Save St. Joseph Dyer Church

✝ A Note on Contributions — 501(c)(3) Status Pending

The Friends of St. Joseph Dyer Church Preservation Society is currently awaiting designation as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit with the Internal Revenue Service. Until that status is granted, contributions cannot be processed as tax-deductible charitable donations.

In the meantime, supporters who wish to help our cause can do so by directly funding particular projects we are now embarking on — the canonical appeal, structural and masonry assessments, archival research, community outreach materials, and other concrete preservation work.

Please contact us at info@savestjosephdyer.org to discuss how your contribution can be applied toward a specific project. We will keep you informed as we receive our 501(c)(3) determination from the IRS.

Why Your Gift Matters

To win our canonical appeal, we must demonstrate that the community can fund maintenance and operations for decades to come. Your donation directly weakens the case for closure.

✝ Canonical Appeal

Legal costs for filing and pursuing the canonical appeal to the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Clergy, including canon law attorney fees.

⚙ Building Preservation

Masonry restoration, tuckpointing, structural repairs, and maintenance to keep the historic church building in excellent condition.

★ Operations Fund

Utilities, insurance, and ongoing operating costs to prove that St. Joseph can sustain itself for years to come.
