With spring approaching and the bones of the building nearly complete, our BOLD FUTURE construction project is gaining momentum this month. Beginning after Easter, the church and grounds will see a marked increase in construction activity and traffic.
Due to unfavorable weather conditions in recent weeks, parishioners can expect to see activity even on weekends—including during the day on Holy Saturday if the winds die down.
Beginning Monday, the upstairs restrooms, coat rack, and elevator will be off limits due to demolition and construction in preparation for the church’s new bell tower. See below for details.
More subcontractors on site means more construction traffic through the lower parking lot. Beginning Monday, parishioners should use the main entrance to the church, especially for loading and unloading children. The lower lot is still available for those who cannot use the stairs, but please be careful and watch for construction traffic
Parishioners will also notice more construction noise, especially when work is underway near the entrance to the church. Please bear with us as this work progresses. Earplugs will be available at the Adoration Chapel for those who need them.
Finally, work in the area of the parish offices to tie the new building to the existing structure may result in temporary office closures in the coming weeks. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding.
During the upstairs restroom and elevator closures, the downstairs restrooms will be the primary restrooms for parishioner use during Masses and throughout the week. The restroom near the Adoration Chapel will be reserved for parishioners who are unable to take the stairs.
Parents, please note that children who need to use the rest room during Mass or other church events will need to go to the lower level, which is not staffed over the weekend. Please use your best judgement as to whether your children can be sent downstairs unattended.
BOLD FUTURE Project Prayer
Resurrected Lord, please bless and protect everyone working on our new facilities. Keep all workers and visitors safe; grant us favorable weather for each stage of the project; and bless us with the materials, supplies, and funding we need to complete this project on time and on budget, for Your kingdom and glory. Amen.
