REBUILDING OUR CHURCH

St. William ParishWalled Lake

From July, 2010 . . . . .

to today.

Asbestos was found under

the old, ruined floor.

The Church was sealed, and after the asbestos

abatement, re-construction began in

earnest.

THE FLOOR . . .

Under the floor, the heating pipes had been leaking for

years.

Causing the concrete floor to crack and break apart.

THE PILLARS

While saw-cutting the cement floor to make the repairs . . .

. . . it was discovered that the pillars were rotting . . .

. . . from years of wicking moisture from the ground

beneath.

Had it not been for last winter’s flood this would not

have been discovered.

The pillars were propped up . . .

and reinforced with a specially manufactured metal “shoe”.

THE ALTAR

The Altar area has been raised . . .

. . . and enlarged . . .

. . . resulting in greatly improved lines of sight.

It has new access . . .

. . . and a new storage area.

The former doors to the sacristy and work room were

bricked in . . .

for an overall cleaner effect.

THE CRY ROOM

The bricks removed from the cry room wall were used to fill in the former entrances to the sacristy

and workroom.

How did they move all those

pews

around safely?

Our handy Pastor designed and made

This “pew caddy”.
