A gentle wash is applied to the altar. This process was slow and thorough.

July 13, 2017: Exciting Things Happening

It’s Thursday, July 13, 2017 and some exciting things are happening outside the Shrine Church.

The bricklayers are covering the canopy framework in new bricks that match the old brick of the Shrine Church. This will make for a substantial entryway.

Lots of activity today, Tuesday, July 11, 2017 both inside and outside of the Shrine Church refurbishment project.

Three new ventilation fans were installed in the narthex today. Here's what it looked like inside.

And here is the outside view! (Yes, we're on the rooftop.)

The construction crew installed the base of the stairs which will be hidden behind a wall and lead to the sanctuary.

Just another view of the stairs.

The canopy roof was sealed today getting ready to complete this part of the project.

The last wall of bricks for the north entrance was completed today, July 11, 2017. Once the HVAC pipes are in place, the construction team will pour concrete for the steps.

Thought everyone would like to see a different view of the north entrance wall and ramp.

Beginning of Week 6

We start week six on Monday, July 10, 2017 of our refurbishment project.

The canopy above the north entrance ramp landing is being built today, Monday, July 10, 2017. On those bad weather days, we will have more protection from the rain or snow.

This view is from the north entrance landing where the canopy is being built.

This is the view from Derry Street into the south doorway. This is the wall which will conceal the ramp leading to the sanctuary.
