Renovation Update, Part 5

Hello all!

This week was again very busy, but a little bit lighter on visually interesting progress to share. The electricians continue running the new wiring for our lighting, and the painters continue preparatory work getting the walls ready for paint.

The masonry crew finished cutting the opening for the new confessional. This wall is in the back corner of the church, with the opening leading into the small sacristy near the main entrance. A box will be built inside the church for the penitent, and the priest hearing confessions will sit in what had been the sacristy. It will be great having this dedicated confessional once it’s finished!

The painters have begun priming the walls in a few areas, and while white paint isn’t the most exciting it does point to good things to come. Also, the windows are now entirely masked off to protect them from overspray. A majority of the last few weeks have involved covering things up or removing items, slowly hiding the church. It will be quite the experience as these coverings are slowly removed, revealing the new church!

Finally, this coming week on Wednesday, Sept. 13 we’re going to be turning the Multipurpose Room into something of an art gallery. The saint murals I’ve been previewing in the bulletin each week are now complete, and we want you to see them! We’ll have them set out for display from 6pm - 8pm, with the artist who painted them on hand to answer questions and describe the process. All are welcome to attend, so please plan on stopping by!

Peace,

Fr. Brandon
