See what we have done

Needless to say, restoring our wooden pews is a major undertaking. Brief consideration was given to replacing them altogether. However, given their historic significance and value, restoration of the pews is the path we will take. The cost above is an estimate as negotiations with the craftsmen and contractors are still ongoing.

The Basilica exterior was vandalized last year. Currently, there is no camera coverage on the front of the church or rectory. Members of the Parish Council recently attended a workshop put on by national and local law enforcement addressing security at places of worship. The parish is awaiting the results of a professional security assessment by law enforcement officials in order to assess the security needs of the campus.

The duct work in the rectory attic had deteriorated beyond repair. New ductwork was installed in order to reduce the utility cost of cooling the rectory.

The hall kitchen was improved with new serving tables, a warming cabinet, an upright freezer, and an industrial refrigerator. As a result, the storage space in the kitchen was expanded and more counter space was created.
