Progress continues...

Here is some detail work in gold leaf that will adorn the alcoves that hold the St. Mary and St. Joseph statue on each side of the Sanctuary.

This picture shows off some more ornate detailing work that is being completed around the Sanctuary.

The Reredos has been completely primed and 1/3 of it has already recieved its top coat of paint.
************************

The R & R project is moving right along as Holy Trinity undergoes much needed changes and improvements. Here are the current updates as the 'repairing and refreshing' continues:

1. The bases for the St. Mary and St. Joseph statues have been completed which will now allow them to sit at the proper height in each alcove.

2. The Reredos is completely primed and 1/3 of it has already had the top coat applied. Once all the top coat is finished, the gold leaf will be applied.

3. The walls surrounding the sanctuary are finished with priming and painting. The only painting left is detail work.

4. All of the old light fixtures in the church have been taken down and rewired to allow for a brighter, but softer light to illuminate Holy Trinity.

5. Track lighting in the body of the church has been installed, but not yet fully completed.

6. The Sacred Heart statue has arrived from Chicago and a base of proper height is now being made to accomodate its measurements.

7. Two parishioners are currently working on the Altar of Sacrifice, constructing it from scratch.

Although Kevin Autenrieb and crew are working diligently, the interior work is behind schedule due to all the needed scraping. However, all painting should be completed before the Christmas holiday which means the scaffolding is expected to be taken down by Christmas Eve service, which starts at 6:30. Even though the flooring and some minor improvements still won't have been made by this time, everyone is still encouraged to attend the Mass celebrating our Lord's birth and witness the new beauty of Holy Trinity!
