Renovation:
After much work, research and prayerful planning, the Saint Bernard Renovation Committee and Father Spenner developed a master plan to implement the renovation. A Capital Campaign was started to provide financing. The renovation was to be in three phases:
Phase One: Roof Restoration
The Problem: Leaking Church Roof
The Solution: Remove existing clay tile roof, replace cracked/broken tiles, re- install roof tile, re-using approximately 80% of existing tiles; replace felt underlayment of roof; replace metal flashing and valleys; re-design gutters and downspouts
Phase One has been completed!
Phase Two: Exterior Wall Restoration
The Problem: Deteriorating Exterior Church Walls
The Solution: Tuckpoint (repair/replace mortar joint) entire exterior masonry walls; repair, re-glaze, and re-paint window frames; remove and replace existing window sealant
Phase 2 has been complete!
Phase Three: Interior Renovation & Liturgical Improvements
The Problem: Peeling Plaster Ceiling & Walls; Narrow, Shallow Exterior Entrances
The Solution: Paint interior walls; install new floor tile; renovate heating/AC system;
construct wider west entrance with interior gathering area; re-design south
(main) entrance & gathering area; renovate and re-design sanctuary and
reconciliation rooms; install new lighting &sound system; replace chairs with fixed wooden pews.
Phase 3 has been complete!
Phase
IV: Remodeling of South end of church to include:
new bathrooms, new outside entry doors, new door
arch/side lights, larger gathering/entry area.
Exterior work to include remodel of sidewalks, steps
Construction of a narthex on the West side to include handicap
ramp entrance
Phase
IV will cost: An
additional $300,000, or $375.00 per family registered
Work
to begin: Upon receipt
of the funds needed to complete the construction.
The earlier we meet the goal, the less we will spend in
rising construction costs.
Our goal is 18 months or less.
Donations for renovation can be sent to the church or to the development office.
