North Entrance Renovation Plan

The long anticipated project to renovate the north entrance to the church will soon become a reality for Sacred Heart Parish. Construction is scheduled to begin by Monday, May 4, with the demolition of the
existing structure. The project is expected to be complete by July 1. During the construction period, the north entrance to the church and connecting doorways into the kitchen, classroom, and parish hall will be
completely closed and inaccessible. Just as our parish has and continues to comply with social distancing protocols during this challenging period, our construction contractor will be following similar requirements throughout the project. Therefore, in the interest of parishioner and contractor safety, we respectfully ask that everyone stay away from the
construction area during the project.

Project status reports will be published in the bulletin as appropriate throughout the project. Questions on project status may be directed to Rick Hamilton.
