Renovation Project

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,               On October 5, 2005 we completed Phase I of our Renovation Project as  we rededicated our parish church following a four-month construction project.   The sanctuary and worship space is filled with new light and the warmth that has  always been a part of Our Lady of the Assumption Parish. Major features of this renovation include a new portico and entrance; a marble baptismal font that  matches the original stone of the altar, ambo and tabernacle stand; refigured  sanctuary platform and Blessed Sacrament chapel.  Five new stained glass  windows add to the majesty of the church.  Three of the windows were created  by Sarah Hall Studios: the creation window at the baptismal font; the tabernacle  window separating the sanctuary and the chapel, a  prism window contained  within the chapel. The two glass doors located on either side of the chapel,  represent Mary and St. Joseph .  These windows were designed by Guy Kemper  Studios. The renovation also includes a new vestibule area, sacristy, lavatories and  storage space.  We are grateful to James Hundt Architect, Inc. and Sano-Rubin Construction for the design and execution of this wonderful worship space. Phase II             The next phase of our project will be to remodel LaSalle Hall.  This space  is used by the whole parish community: Faith Formation Program, Rainbows,  Church Mice, Elizabeth Ministry , Youth Ministry, 55’er and Seniors, Rosary Altar  Society, and everyone else!  The scope of this project will include new insulation,  floor, ceiling, windows and HVAC.  Your continued support of the Capital  Campaign will make this a reality.   Sincerely, Father Burke   Memorials and Gifts of Thanksgiving Contact the pastor or parish office for information regarding memorials and other gifts.  Gifts can be made individually or by members of a family or friends, and will serve as a timeless remembrance for generations to come Photo Gallery
