Baptistery Renovation

This renovation project, which began on 1/17/22, involves repairing the floor and returning the room to its original use as a baptistery. We have contracted with Louis DiCocco and Santo Calabrese of the Saint Jude Liturgical Arts of Havertown, PA. We are grateful to them for their expert assistance. New floors, a baptismal font and pew refinishing will take place, as well as updated lighting. This project will cost between $17,000 - $20,000 and will take a couple of weeks to finish. Background: a buckle was identified in the cry room floor in November 2021. At that point it was closed off and was assessed by professionals.

Update as of 1/25/22: We are making progress on our Baptistery renovation. The new floor has been installed as well as the new baptismal font. Next step is pew refinishing, installing updated lighting, painting, as well as moving some additional items into the room. We hope to have the baptistery completed by Easter.
