Over the Labor Day weekend, Matt Beisser, the principal at St. Dennis Catholic School, experienced a severe house fire. Thankfully, the family was away when the fire happened, so nobody was hurt. Unfortunately, the entire house, and all the family’s belongings, sustained significant smoke and soot damage, which has rendered many things irreparable (clothes, books, photos, etc.) Several walls also sustained severe heat damage and will need to be torn down to the studs (2x4s).
Matt and his family are currently living in a hotel and will be there for at least 3 months. Hopefully they will be back in their house before Christmas.
Saint Francis Xavier would like to show our support to our fellow Catholic School community member. If you'd like to contribute to this cause, you can send a donation to school clearly marked 'For Principal Beisser' by Monday, September 26.
Checks can be made out to Saint Francis Xavier. We will compile the contributions into one gift for the Beisser family.
