What Is the Overall Timing of Things Between Today and 2030 for the Implementation of Phases 1 and 2?

The planned timing of the execution of the interior redecoration master plan spans the seven years between 2023 and 2030.  The major activity segments in the plan are described in the chart below.   As with all plans, things change over time.  Phase 1 (calendar 2024/2025) includes painting the Sanctuary, the Proscenium (triumphal arch) and the Nave; rewiring and installing new lighting fixtures in the Sanctuary and Nave; and installing new AV equipment in the Sanctuary and Nave.  Phase 2 (calendar 2027/2028) consists of replacing all of the flooring (including in the Sanctuary), the pews, and certain Sanctuary liturgical pieces; refurbishing and updating the confessionals; and moving the baptismal font.

During Phase 1 there would be scaffolding in the Nave and Sanctuary.  This would be up to three to four months.  During this time, we would celebrate Mass in the O’Hagan Parish Hall.  Phase 2 would be less disruptive for a shorter time since this is seen as primarily installation work.
