As communicated last week via Parish Flocknotes and the monthly Parish News Update from the school, the work has begun on the planned renovations in the church. As Fr. Francis mentioned in his letter in those communications, work will continue through early November 2022. The work will also include a new covered walkway area outside the church as well. This work will impact the main church parking lot area and will impact carpool from August through the completion of the renovations. More details will be shared before school begins regarding carpool flow updates.
What has already happened?
The small organ at the front of the Church was removed to create space for a statue of the Blessed Disciple. The organ has been safely stored as we await a buyer to give it a new home.
A small construction trailer has been placed by the porte-cochère. This will serve as the office and headquarters for our contractor and foreman during the renovation process. A small construction dumpster delivery is pending.
What’s happening next?
Temporary walls will soon be built at the front of the Church to contain the demolition and construction of the new niches for the Blessed Mother and Beloved Disciple statues. This will require a temporary change to the flow of the Communion Procession at Mass.
The large organ in the back of the Church will be covered to protect it during the demolition process. We will use only the piano for a few weeks during the demolition.
Our mission at St Cecilia Catholic School is the ongoing Catholic formation and education of the whole child in mind, heart, and spirit, in preparation for an adult life of commitment and service.
