The repairing and refreshing of Holy Trinity has been in full swing the last couple of weeks and according to Kevin Autenrieb, work is right on schedule. The contractors have completed all the scraping and are now working on patching and repairing the walls. Also, more notably, the color scheme has been chosen for the interior of the church. Due to time constraints and other various potential problems, the colors were chosen by the Decorate and Design committee and the R & R committee co-chairmen. It was decided to go with a soft tan color that Kevin calls "sand." All of the different painting options were very subtle. A soft purple will lightly accent the church near each window. Also, the carpet for the entry and body of the church as been chosen and a large sample will soon arrive so the congregation can view it. The decorator assisted in picking out the shade of the carpet, which cordinates very nicely with the painting scheme. Here are a few other highlights of the latest R & R happenings:
1. Chris Kupish is beginning work on the Altar of Sacrifice this week.
2. All of the Stations of the Cross are being stored in the Reconciliation Room until construtction is complete.
3. Track lighting will be installed to highlight certain areas of the Altar, specificially the Altar of Sacrifice, side altars, baptismal font and mural.
4. The Sacred Heart statue has been chosen. It is coming brand new from Chicago and Kevin will paint it in the same shade and tones as the St. Mary and St. Joseph statue that are on the altar already.
5. The Altar and Rosary Society ladies are paying for a new crucifix and cross to adorn the reredos (the back altar).
6. The rediscovered baptismal font has been repaired and is now awaiting a fresh coat of paint.
The R & R project is making great strides. We welcome everyone to come and experience the fresh beauty and excitement that is radiating from Holy Trinity!
