Update of our Parish Renovation Projects
Dear fellow parishioners,
Summer conclude/Fall season here?
There has been a lot going on behind the scenes and I want to take this time to update you on “what’s happening” at St. Louis de Montfort. As part of our 2011 capital campaign and the three phase plan of accomplishing
major projects, I am pleased to update you on:
Landscaping: as you may have noticed, we r ecently completed a major cut back of many over gr own
trees and growth surrounding the property. This major clean-up was necessary as thick vines and tree limbs
overgrew the edges of the property and into many areas of the parking lot. In the Spring, new plantings will
complement and improve the look of the parish grounds.
Parking Lot Project: we r ecently conducted under gr ound testing of the upper par king lot to deter mine
what was causing it to sink in certain areas. Borings and soil tests and GPR (ground penetrating radar) were
conducted and we found that the soil underneath the parking lot was not well compacted and has caused areas
of the parking lot to slowly sink over time. The plan over the next two weeks is to fill in any depressions with
patches and re-stripe the parking lot until April of next year when we will undertake a complete re-paving of
the roadway from New York Avenue and the entire upper lot. Thank you for your patience.
New Lighting Project: we ar e cur r ently r eplacing all the old Flor issant light with new extr emely efficient LED lighting. This project will lower our monthly electric bill by about $500 per month. Special thanks
to Mark Larsen, a faithful St. Louis de Montfort parishioner, who is helping to lead this effort.
Heating and Air-conditioning Project: We have r eceived four bids to update our HVAC system and ar e
evaluating these based on the cost and details of the work to be accomplished. I hope to be able to complete
this project sometime next year.
Rest Rooms (Lower Church): Soon, I am hoping to make pr ogr ess on the r enovation of the bathr ooms
in the lower church. They are in need of a significant update and are one of the final projects to be accomplished.
Thanks to your generous response and continued support of our Parish Renovation Campaign, we are able to
make these important updates to help keep our parish buildings and grounds in good condition.
With love,
Fr. Charlie
