A Special Surprise!
While digging the elevator shaft in the bell tower our wonderful construction team discovered that the original beams were still in good condition at 116 years old!
The team was able to remove them and fashion a cross and a stand.
Pictured: Father Peter, Deacon Bill, with Jeff and Vinnie Cantarella. Jeff is our General Contractor and Vinnie (Jeff’s son) is one of the team who made the cross.
The video below is Father Peter explaining just how special the “Rugged Old Cross” is to the people of St. Charles.
We are so lucky to have this piece of our heritage displayed on the altar during our journey though Lent.

Although there haven’t been any recent posts, I can assure you that there has been a lot going on behind the scenes and behind the partitions. Behind the partitions outside the kitchen in the church hall the floor has been taken up. This is exciting because you never know what you may find. It would be nice to find a treasure chest but instead an old newspaper and beams were found.
The date of the paper is 3/16/1928.

WOW!! What a difference 24 hour makes. We now have temporary walls. The partitions have enclosed the front or kitchen entrance to the church hall and have extended past the kitchen counter into the church hall. More cabinets have been removed. The kitchen staff has gotten very creative in storing items with the loss of these cabinets. Just when you get used to where something is it changes. It will be an interesting few months.
This picture is of the inside of the partition. It was taken from the vantage point of coming down the stairs where the elevator will be. The kitchen is to the right and the church hall is straight through the door at the end of the partition.
This is where the wall of cabinets was removed at the bottom of the stairs outside the kitchen.

On this past Monday night, actual physical changes were noticed by all attending Bingo. A door was put in where there wasn’t one before, a cabinet was moved and the refrigerator was moved to outside of the kitchen area into the church hall. It is all so exciting! Each week will be a surprise!
The New Door
The missing refrigerator is where the desk and chair are now placed. The door opening in the previous picture is to the right of the desk and chair.
Behind the open door is where the cabinet used to be.
The cabinet has been relocated between the ladies and men's room.
