Holy Rosary Parish Maintenance
Really, by any standard, 135 years is a long time; and while we might imagine the early Flemish builders of Holy Rosary to expect their creation to last forever, we also know that Alabama weather is tough on buildings.
In 2019, the Holy Rosary community completed several major rebuilding projects related to our parish church. The sad condition of the sills and lower courses of siding on our church was repaired. And also evident to all inside the church was the sad condition of the ceiling and walls. A roof replacement a few years ago fixed the problem but its effects still remained inside. We took care of these inside issues and now the parish is ready for the next 135 years.
Even once properly milled cedar was sourced and modified for use to make repairs; issues continued to crop up.
These projects will maintain the historic character of the parish while securing its stability for the next century.
In late September, a group of John Carroll High School Students, along with their coach and driver, threw in, in a major way to help us catch up on campus maintenance. With the other work that going on we were not looking our best. Words do not adequately convey how much that day of “sprucing up” is appreciated.
