Stone & Scaffolding

This is on the school gym side of the church.

Blue as the Sky!

Still awaiting exterior application, the steeple seems to rise from a building that has melted into the sky.....

Exterior Application

The new church is getting ready for the final exterior!  The church is not going to be blue!  The material that is applied looks like stucco and is called EIFS (eefuss).  It is a light gray color with a rough texture.

More Terrazzo!

Terrazzo Update!

Terrazzo flooring as it looks today!

Terrazzo Flooring

Preparation is underway for the terrazzo floor to be poured in the transepts, nave, and narthex of the new church.

The pattern is laid out with aluminum strips that will separate the colors and keep the integrity of the design in the floor.  These are some of the aluminum strips forming the pattern of the floor.

Roman Mosaic  is the company that is performing the work for our terrazzo floor.

Predella Poured Today

The predella is the platform on which the altar is placed.  It will be covered in marble.  There are two steps up to the predella.  In the background of the picture you can see men who are working on preparations for the terrazzo flooring in the transepts and the nave.
