Special Announcement from Fr. Pat

11-22-2022RenovationFr. Pat

Hello Everyone! I want to share some exciting news with you. We have received a restricted gift, from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, to finish Phase II (Narthex) of our Church Enhancement Project. Yes – I was taken aback myself – and very grateful to say the least. It should be noted, no money is being used from any SHOJ accounts.

That’s the first piece of good news, the second is this…We are going to begin construction soon, and it will be completed in the same time frame as the Nave enhancement. It just so happens all of our construction folks, as well as the architect, can still do phase two along with the Nave simultaneously. This should not affect any of our current Mass Times and “other activities” that occur in the Church building. There will be some mild nuanced changes and they will be communicated when necessary. Target date to be back in the church is the weekend of March 4-5, 2023. God is good!!

We've reached week 9 of renovations. Much progress is being made in our Sanctuary:

Lighting:

  • All the lighting fixtures have been received and are on site.
  • The electricians are beginning to retrofit all of the recessed lighting with new LED lighting and pendants are beginning to be hung.
  • New lighting is starting to be installed in and around the sanctuary wall for accent lighting purposes.
