Just in time for Thanksgiving.
An anonymous donor has come forward to the Ste. Anne's Parish in Tecumseh.
The donor made a commitment to match up to $1.25 million in funds, if the parish can find a donor or group to contribute to the $2.5 million church restoration campaign.
Father Eugene Roy says the individual is concerned for the beauty of the church, and it's history.
"I was floored and I was just beside myself, because it's not something that happens often. It was from clear out of the blue. I was ecstatic, it was hard to contain it."
Roy says the individual is hoping his commitment will encourage someone in the community to come forward and help.
The donor has set a two-week timeline for matching funds to come forward.
Roy says the parish is deeply grateful for this generous commitment of support to fully restore the church building, which has been a beacon in the community for 143 years.
