Sacred Heart Altar Update 4/23/2019

The excitement of the altar installation has begun! We hope you are as eager as we are now that the project is under way. Work will happen during the week, and the church will be left as ready as possible for weekend masses, events, and weddings. We have a summary of the installation schedule below, but please remember that there may be some changes as we move along. No project would be complete without a few wrenches thrown in along the way. While the renovation part of any project can be chaotic and messy, the end result will be a beautiful blessing to our parish and worth the small inconveniences. Thank you all for your patience and understanding as the project goes on.
