Brunswick teen replacing flooring at Richmond church hits $10,000 goal in donations

RICHMOND — Thanks to the generosity of parishioners and community members, Joe Valliere’s Eagle Scout Project will not only come to pass but will be felt and remembered at St. Ambrose Church in Richmond for years and years to come.

The 16-year-old from Brunswick has reached his $10,000 goal in donations, and the money keeps pouring in, now approaching $11,000. Valliere’s project will be to replace the flooring of the narthex, chapel and altar at St. Ambrose Church, located on Kimball Street. The extra donations will all go toward purchasing a new sound system for the church. 

“Thank you all for your encouragement, donations, and letters of thanks and praise to Joe,” said Fr. Tom Murphy, pastor of All Saints Parish in Brunswick of which St. Ambrose is a part. “It is inspirational to see parishioners support Joe’s effort. It reveals how much we love one another.”
