Volunteers still hard at work

The Holy Family statue was recently sanded, primed and painted a fresh coat by a volunteer. The statue will now reside in the reconciliation room. The old presider chair is being transformed into a platform that the statue will sit atop of. Also, a small votive candle stand has been cleaned and freshly spray painted that will adorn the front area of the statue.

More stations are also being sanded and primed on a weekly basis. These stations are the latest pair prepared by volunteers. The committee has decided to re-hang the statues after they've been primed back inside the church until the artist in charge of painting them can get to each station. The committee is striving to have all of the 14 stations sanded and primed and ready for a final painting before the Steak Dinner on August 1.

As shown with the chipped paint, the exterior windows are in desperate need of repair. At first, the R & R committee had hopes of scraping, cleaning, and re-installing the windows themselves, but the task proved too daunting for amatuers. Bids are now being accepted by contractors for the job.
The R & R committee is holding it's next meeting July 14 at 7 pm in the hall. All are welcomed and encouraged to attend!
