Church Elevator Construction

Construction Begins September 4!

We are excited to announce that construction for our new church elevator begins next week! This elevator will help those who struggle with stairs to easily access our church. As with all projects, we will have inconveniences for the next few months. It is good for us to remember that these inconveniences are temporary and worthwhile in the long run! We thank you for your patience.

Elevator Location

The new elevator will be on the church's east side, facing Oak Ridge Rd. Currently, this is where the sinks are in the narthex. We are first building a structure to house the elevator. This includes a section for users to wait sheltered from the elements. The elevator itself should arrive middle to late December. We will have a blessing of the construction site following the 9 AM Mass on Labor Day. All are welcome!

Construction Closures & Information

Carpool Closure The entrance from Oak Ridge Rd. will be closed for carpool on school days from 3:05 - 3:30 PM. This includes the entrance to the north parking lot. You may still enter the property from 146th Street during that time. (As on all school days, those parked in the east lot will not be able to leave during this time.) View full carpool routes here

East Drive Closure The east side drive by the church will be closed during construction. The east church entrance closest to the new elevator will also be closed during most of the project. The chapel ramp will remain open.

Handicap Parking Phase two (November) of the renovation project will be to tear out the island closest to the elevator in order to create new, elevator accessible parking spaces. You may still park here during phase one ; however, note that you will need to navigate to one of the other entrances away from the construction.

Other Entrances These entrances will remain open during construction.
