Restoring Sacred Heart Church - part 3

New choir loft railing

Here are before and after pictures of Sacred Heart Church's choir loft railing - a special thank you to Latin Mass parishioners Perry Hall and Adam Nannini for fabricating and installing the beautiful new railing this past week. Click the link below to see pictures from some of Sacred Heart’s construction, repair and improvement projects from this past year. Latin Mass parishioners have paid for and done repairs to and re-installment of the kneelers, repairs to the confessional, to the organ, restoration and installment of the altar, altar rail and altar steps, many other small repairs and improvements, plus the new choir loft railing is now compliant with safety laws. A huge thank you to all that have worked so hard to make our new parish home a more beautiful and safe environment for everyone~

Restoring Sacred Heart Church - part 2

Before the Monterey Latin Mass Community could move into our new home at Sacred Heart Catholic Church a lot of repairs and improvements needed to be made - our volunteers donated time, energy, and financial support to make this happen before the move in date. All work and supplies seen in the pictures below were generously donated in whole by the Monterey Latin Mass Community~

The Altar arrives, shipped from a consignor Back East. The Altar chosen was one 

that looked the most like the original Gothic High Altar in Sacred Heart Church.

The new-to-us Altar needed some TLC

It gets fixed up and a fresh coat of paint

It was a lot of hard work to get the Altar moved into the church and installed

Our Chaplain Fr. Milich stops by to check on progress - he has a lunch break with Adam Nannini and the other volunteers. Thanks so much to all those who did so much to help, but especially to Adam who coordinated and implemented the vast majority of the repairs and improvements in Sacred Heart Church~
