Our general contractor, Ernest Guigli & Sons, Inc., has been making excellent progress! During the first week, the demolition of the old parking lot, compacting of the surface, and binder coat was completed.
This past week, while the binder layer cures, asphalt curbing was installed along the fence lines. The curbing acts as a safety measure for people and vehicles and also adds a protective element for our existing trees, improving their health and the health of future plantings. The statue of the Blessed Mother in front of the Parish Center has been moved closer to the building where a small gathering area will be created for prayer and quiet reflection.
Work on the new driveway gates will begin this coming week, and the application of the top coat will happen over the next two weeks, so we are on schedule!
REMINDER: We are not able to celebrate weekend Masses at St. John while the parking lot is closed (this weekend, July 27 -28, and next weekend, August 3 – 4.) During this time, there is NO Saturday 5:00pm Vigil Mass, and the Sunday 11:00am Mass is being celebrated at St. Paul Church.
OUR Temporary Weekend Mass Schedule THROUGH August 3-4:
- Saturday 4:00pm Vigil Mass at St. Paul*
- Sunday 9:00am Mass at St. Paul*
- Sunday 11:00am Mass at St. Paul*
*All Masses will be livestreamed during this time.
The Tuesday/Thursday 7:00am Mass, Saturday Confessions, and other activities will continue as scheduled at St. John.
Please remember to be considerate of the neighbors while parking on our residential streets. Please continue to check the website and your email for more information and updates as the project moves forward. (If you haven’t already, please visit the website to sign up for emails!)
We thank you for your patience and look forward to the completion of this much needed work!
