After a lot of research and bid gathering, many of our capital repairs are in progress. Our church roof replacement is almost complete. Soon the outside brickwork repair surrounding the stain glass window behind the altar will begin. The contractor will also repair multiple issues with brick repointing around our campus. We were also able to schedule the atrium windows’ renovation in mid-October. Deposits have been given for each of these projects. Scaffolding will be going up soon!
We originally thought that the roof replacement above the parish offices would be a simple fix. After much research, this project will be more complicated and much more costly to repair. The two original roof layers will have to be taken off. The HVAC unit for this area will have to be replaced. The duct work is rusted and will also have to be replaced. More to come on this project.
The trees in front of the church on Southern Boulevard and along the driveway entrance have been trimmed. The trees in front of the rectory on Robert Drive have also been trimmed.
Some smaller work has also been done. The carpets in the church and in other rooms were cleaned and many stains were removed. A new water fountain was installed in the atrium near the restrooms. The pews and chair cushions in the church and atrium were cleaned.
We will let you know more about these and the other projects that will be happening in the coming months!
