Saint Peter's Point- The Catholic Blog of Saint Peter Parish, Stevens Point Wisconsin

Today marks the first official work day of the church floor replacement project. Although much work has already been put in on the project, today was the first day of the parish being "displaced" from the church proper. Daily Mass (or today a Communion service) is now being held in the church basement (Kolbe Hall), and confessions and Eucharistic adoration will be there as well. Weekend Masses will be held in the gym.

Here are some pictures from today's work:

First thing this morning St. Peter volunteers could be found climbing ladders, wrapping bags and shrink wrap around the many statues and Stations of the Cross in Church.




How would you like to have been the guys draping plastic way up on top of the reredos?


The organ had been wrapped in plastic the day before. In this picture you can also see the numbers written on the pews:


Besides installing porcelain tile, Church Interiors also has the job of refinishin the pews. Today's job was to "tear down" the pews. Here you see the book holders have been removed:


Here's one last look at the pew that was completely refinished as a sample. It will be taken out with the rest of the pews to make sure they all match in the end.


Church Interiors rep Joel and foreman Pat lean on the modesty panel (just brought up from the basement) and contemplate the proposed handicapped seating in the front row. There will be space for 1-2 wheelchairs on the center-aisle ends of the front row on both the left and right sides.


Another view of the modesty panels. Anyone remember these?
