Just like the rest of the church, the balcony is near completion. The pillars have been wrapped in wood and reinforced. Also, the ceiling paint job is complete and all the scaffolding in the body of the church has been removed.
The only scaffolding left in the church is on the altar because not all ceiling detailing is finished quite yet. However, the banner and the lettering on the scroll above the altar is completed.
Not only is the Altar recieving a face lift by means of new paint and new furniture, but the altar has also been rearranged. The pulpit now sits on the right side of the altar and musicians are seated on the left side, next to the presider's chair. The only major interior work left to be done is new flooring.Looking for an opportunity to help the R &R but don't have the extra money? Well, here's your chance! The R & R needs every extra hand they can get next Sunday, January 9 after 9 a.m. mass. Anyone willing to lend some time towards beautifying Holy Trinity is being asked to help clean the church pews. In an effort to save money, volunteers are being asked to bring working cloths, buckets, sponges, rubber gloves and rags to help scrub down the pews. A product called Dirtex, which is a little milder than TSP, will be provided as the cleaning agent. This is a great opportunity to get involved in the project if you haven't yet. Also, this is a fairly large undertaking and any extra help would make it alot easier and faster for everyone involved. The pews must be cleaned befor the new flooring can be installed. For more information, call Steve Curtin at 825-7787.
Happy New Year!
everytime I come into the church I just can not get over the transformation that has taken place in such a short amount of time. The new colors have opened up the church especially next to the windows-I never really noticed so many colors before next to the orange paint and dk woodwork-it seems that we are stepping back in time-to a good time-before the orange! And what a good feeling to know how much work we as a parish family has done. We have always been known for how well our parish works together to get something done,whether big or small and this is one more example of it. Sheryl
