Campaign Update

A couple of weeks ago, we had a parish town hall to present the plan for what will be accomplished in Phase 2 of our Restoration Project. For the benefit of those who were not able to join for it, I wanted to be sure everyone had a chance to find out what we will be doing. Phase 2 will basically be accomplishing those parts of the restoration that could not be accomplished in Phase 1 for one reason or another. These include:

• New confessional: replacing the confessional on the back, St. Joseph side, making it larger for folks with mobility issues.

• Updated sound system: updating and enhancing our sound system so that everyone can more clearly hear all parts of the Mass.

• New handrails: restoring the handrails at the front of the church which are considerably deteriorated as well as adding two new handrails alongside the high altar.

• Repaving the sidewalk on North Street, which has deteriorated due to poor snow melt

• New signage: adding signs to the parish buildings to better identify the rectory, parish house and adoration chapel.

• New altar: replacing the main low altar (which was meant to be temporary anyway) with a new permanent, marble altar.

A big thank you again to all of those who continue to make all of this possible. We could not do all of this repair and restoration without you!
