Capital Improvements 2006-2008

  • Current Total Cost Estimate (9 Nov 2007): $1,533,000
  • Main Project - $1,300,000 est.
    The main project is the renovation and expansion of the Narthex, Sacristy, Blessed Sacrament Chapel and Reconciliation Room. In addition to simply responding to the effects of 26 years of exposure to the elements, the Narthex has been expanded to include a more spacious entrance to the Worship Center, with better lighting, a more inviting landscaped outdoor entrance, and comfortable seating areas to allow for fellowship and small group meetings. Our Sacristy has been expanded to include a changing/vestment area for our clergy, an improved restroom and a sacrarium (a sink which is specifically designed to meet the liturgical requirements for the disposal of holy oils and cleansing of purificators). The Blessed Sacrament Chapel has been renovated and a new Reconciliation Room constructed to provide a more usable space for the Sacrament of Penance. A new Daily Mass Chapel has been constructed for Daily Liturgy and allow space for the deceased and family visitation before funerals, for other sacramental meetings such as RCIA and Children’s Liturgy of the Word and for other Liturgical/Worship needs. In addition, the 27-year old Worship Center chiller will be replaced. COMPLETED
