The Mary J. Feltes Science Suite
  
Serving as chair of the science department at St. Francis High School for 24 years, Mary passed away February 20, 2009 from heart failure at the age of 64. Just prior to her passing, Mary described the new science suite as her dream. The science labs had not been touched in other capital campaigns at St. Francis, because, as Mary said, "I did not want a band-aid or a quick fix; I wanted the science labs done right." Completing the Dream became more than the title of the completion phase of the campaign, it became a battle cry in Mary's honor. 
 
On Sunday, February 21, 2010, mass was celebrated at St. Francis High School in honor of the late Mary J. Feltes. An architectural rendering was unveiled depicting the Mary J. Feltes Science Suite, named in her honor.
 
We are in the home stretch of the completion phase of our capital campaign. This is a true testament to the generous people of the St. Francis community. There is still time to make a financial gift and help complete the dream.

Please return your Letter of Intent with your investment in the Completing the Dream capital campaign. If everyone helps in the most generous way they can, we will be successful in reaching our goal. The Letter of Intent not only communicates your financial support of the campaign, it also serves as collateral to assist in securing bridge financing during construction.
 
If you need another copy of the Letter of Intent or would like to make your gift online, go to www.sfhs.org to obtain the materials you need. We appreciate your generosity!
 
Should you have any questions regarding construction, the building or the campaign, please contact Tom Bednar, President of St. Francis High School at 630-668-5800x102.
