Dear Parishioners and Friends,
The work on our church complex roof is almost done. The apse received additional plywood, a 3in insulation layer, and was finished with pre-painted baked metal sheets (similar to the porte-cochere).
We are awaiting now the manufacturer’s letter indicating all work done on our church complex roof and dome has been done and completed pursuant manufacturer’s specifications and in compliance with warranty standards.
Freetail Roofing is halfway done with their work on The Julia J. Sawyer Event Center. They have installed the “flute filler” insulation and will finish the installation of the TPO roof.
We are currently at $128,001 or 64% of our $200,000 goal in our “Raise the Roof” online campaign. We thank all those who have taken part in this online campaign and we ask everyone to make a sacrificial gift that will ensure a church home for future generations to come.
Together, through your generosity, we change lives, do God’s work and preserve the beauty of Our Lady’s Parish. Let us "raise our hands to this good work… ". Make a gift today!
Chorbishop Don J. Sawyer, D. Min.
