Among this year's major projects was roof repair. In addition to replacing broken roof tiles, copper gutters and downspouts were replaced, valleys repaired, snow guards and heat tape installed. All electrical and mechanical recommendations were addressed, sidewalks were leveled and a crew of volunteers striped the parking lot. Many of the rooms around the parish hall received plaster repair and a fresh coat of paint. This December all sanctuary light fixtures were re-lamped.
Building maintenance remains an ongoing priority.
We were fortunate to have a solidly constructed building that endured the fire and many gallons of water. Damage was minimal and restricted to the tower roof and steeple. We are in the process of gathering bids for replacement. The Facility Enhancement Committee is currently assessing the parish building needs and we look to them for project direction in the coming year. The Building and Grounds Committee is blessed to have many dedicated and talented members.
