Sorry for the long silence on the progress of the church restoration.
I have not had anything concrete to report since the Scriptorium was published, but everyday we have almost had something to report. We have been waiting for the architects to finish the final plans and give us a stamped set of blueprints so that we can get a building permit from the city. They finished the plans today! So finally we can get started with the interior repairs.
As you know there was extensive damage to the roof and the interior, but the main holdup has revolved around some upgrades to the electrical service to the church that were required to bring the building up to code. We all want to be back in the church as soon as possible, but we want to make sure the job is done right.
Everyone has been asking, “When will be back into the church?” That’s a great question, and we should be able to give a more definite answer by the end of next week, but if all goes well we should be back in the church by Christmas.
As always, thank you for your support. Remember that the Church is not a building. It is you and I and together we make St. Bede a welcoming community of faith in action whether we are in the cafeteria or in the church.
God Bless.
Fr. Carucci
