We have several on-going projects and new projects at St. John Paul II. The Oil Tank That ugly construction hole by the side handicapped entrance is an abandoned oil tank that is being removed. It was probably part of the original parish center that existed in the area of the parking lot until the 1980 s. When the building was removed, the oil tank was not! We are hoping all the State requirements will be finished by the Fall and the surface redone. The Bell System Recently, it was discovered that a support beam for our parish bells (we have 3 bronze bells) has a stress crack. You might have noticed that the Bells are not ringing before parish Masses! This beam will need to be replaced. We are waiting for estimates.,brick Repointing Recently we discovered that some of the bricks around the large window of the Ascension (Convent side) need to be repointed to prevent water leaks. Work in progress! Your Support of Maintenance helps!
