Exterior Cleaning, Painting and Waterproofing of Church 

At this time, most of the power washing and painting of the church has been completed.  The contractors are finished all except the rectory side of the church and the higher ends of the steeples. They are saving that area until last as wood will be laid on the ground to prevent as much as possible the heavy lift from digging into the lawn.  A taller lift will also be obtained to do the top areas by the steeples. 

You can notice that the dated peach color has been changed to a creamy white for the lintels and the exterior walls of the confessionals. The louvers in the steeple towers and the very tops of the steeple cupola will be in a more bronze color.  The bronze color was selected to give more contrast to the beautiful architecture and to diminish the noticeable effect of the soot and algae buildup in an area which is very difficult to clean on a regular basis.

When the painting has been completed, another company will be coming in to waterproof the building.  This will entail reglazing the windows with new caulking and tuckpointing areas of the brick and mortar which need repair. They will also then begin working on the rectory, which was in the scope of the campaign projects.
