Want an inside peak of the renovations happening at St. Michael’s?  Walk with me as the foreman shows countless workers spending hours of labor on things that will never be seen like electrical, heating and cooling ducts, and phone and data lines.  All important for creating good spaces to work in and connect with others. 

I can’t help but relate the importance of this unseen construction work to the unseen work done tirelessly by our priests and staff.

Most parishioners only experience the “finished product” of our parish bulletins and newsletters, the spreadsheets done to organize our ministers who serve, the planning done for liturgy and music each week, the staff who console the many who grieve a loss and are thrown into the planning of a funeral, the staff who help the new couples who undergo wedding prep and the ever important maintenance both indoor and out which keeps our campus functioning and beautiful.

All things that also are part of a church building which become the tools used to connect people to Christ and community.

As you view the photo gallery notice the exterior brick and stone on the new addition which tie together the colors and architecture of the main Sanctuary and chapel. They also create the impression of permanence in the neighborhood, emphasizing St. Michael’s call to be right here for generations to come.

Take an inside look at the space for our cantors and choirs to now rehearse and notice the many spaces that will soon be the space where our parish ministries and groups gather.  

Notice the beautiful atrium with grand high ceilings and the connecting walkway between the new building and the sanctuary.

We are certainly a church of many generations that strive to live and serve as one in Christ!  

There is excitement in imagining all of the great things that will happen within these walls where important work is being done which will soon be the groundwork necessary but forever unseen.
