For years the basement of the parish hall has been little more than a "junk room." Items that were infrequently used and things that no one really knew what to do with found their way there. They collected dust and took up space. Even if the junk hadn't been there, the space was not comfortable or well lit. It would have been difficult to use it for anything.
As St. Mary's continues to grow, there is more interest in activities that require comfortable and functional meeting space. In particular, our growing numbers of young children need a comfortable space for their Sunday morning activities.
The renovation of the ground floor area of the parish hall was completed last summer. At that time our focus shifted to the basement. Its transformation is underway now.
For a start, take a look at the before pictures. You can see that the ceiling tiles were deteriorated, the lighting is inadequate and the "finish" is very rough. In the next few days you'll see before and after comparisons with the work that is now in progress.
