Vulcan Commercial Stove For a variety of reasons, not the least of which is safety due to the output of CO2 in our confined space, the commercial stove in the hall needs to be replaced. The cost for a new, 10-burner commercial gas stove is approximately $7,000. In order for us to make this purchase, donations are being solicited. If anyone would like to make a donation toward this purchase, please contact Fr. Paul. Additionally, the Vulcan commercial stove we currently use will be available for purchase. If you or someone you know may be interested in making an offer, please contact Fr. Paul.
