GOOD NEWS!
The following renderings, shown below and provided by MRV Architects, have been approved by the Anchorage-Juneau Archdiocese. They provide for a minimal expansion of the Narthex as well as a street level entrance to an interior elevator for wheel-chair persons or those with mobility issues. There will also be an improved stair arrangement inside for all parishioners to use.. Numerous safety and structural improvements will also be made to the facility to better meet ADA guidelines. See the schematics below for specific details.
Barring any unforeseen issues (and after setting up a contract with a contractor to do the work) we anticipate the start of the renovation will begin just after Easter, weather permitting. Further updates will be provided on this page as they become available, especially when it becomes necessary to move to the Parish Hall for Masses while church foundation issues are dealt with.FRONT ENTRANCE
