Church Renovation Update – August 2025

We are pleased to share some encouraging progress on our church renovation project. In June, the granite stairs leading into the church were completely replaced, and the front stoop was levelled to ensure safe and accessible entry.

As is often the case with projects of this scale, some unexpected issues have come to light. The wooden beams supporting the front entrance roof were found to be in poor condition and have been replaced. In addition, the patio stone ramp providing access for individuals with mobility challenges is uneven and has become a safety concern. Since our contractor was already on-site, it made sense to address this issue now to prevent future risks.

On a positive note, we were able to save the antique wrought iron railings. They have been sent out for professional restoration to return them to their original condition.

Work on the windows has begun and will continue through to the end of October. We are on track to complete Phase 1 of the restoration by then.

We’re grateful to report that the Anglican Foundation has approved our grant application, and we have received $7,500 in support of this project. In addition, thanks to the generosity of our parishioners, we have received $6,700 in donations to date. To help cover additional expenses, we will also be taking $5,000 from our General Funds.

Despite this support, we estimate a shortfall of approximately $10,000 to cover our share of Phase 1 costs.
