The Capital Campaign |
RENOVATION PROJECT On Tuesday, May 26, 2009 renovation work began on the church steps, plaza and sidewalks. We took the opportunity to photograph Massaro employees as they dug, lifted and hauled away many years of concrete and stone. Check the thumbprints below to view the work that has been completed. |

We'll also give updates as our projects are undertaken. Campaign goal: $1,200,000 Amount pledged: $ 805,640 Amount contributed to date: $675,650 |

What a beautiful image at night! |
As we come to the end stages of renovations on the front plaza, steps, and side entrances, painting was being completed above the front and side door overhangs for a final polished look. Once the left side door was stained, it was ready for use. |

WORK ON THE CHURCH PARAPET AND BELL TOWER Last year, the parapet at the top of the church façade was damaged during the severe storms that occurred. Using a $23,000 payment from the diocesan insurance company, our parish will begin repairs to the church parapet and the bell tower in the early spring. The total cost will be $48,600 with the remainder being paid from last year’s parish surplus and the centennial campaign. The repairs will be completed before Easter and will benefit the church building for many years. |
Work continues on the renovation our church. |

REFURBISHING OUR CONFESSIONALS This month, the two front confessionals are receiving an interior renovation! We finally have an excellent contractor who can do this work. Mr. Donn Hollman of Inside Out Remodeling, Pleasant Hills, has begun this long-awaited project. The interiors will be remodeled into two sections so that chairs can be installed. A center curtain and partition will allow each person to choose face -to-face or anonymous. Kneeling will also continue to be an option. Plan now to use the new confessionals soon! |
