After a Short Thanksgiving Week Here's What's Been Going On:

1. We're still waiting on the Demolition Permit - that something to pray for - it's expected by December 10
2. Half way! We've got 50% of the abatement work on Parish East (the Guadalupe side of the alley) complete
3. Which means we have two more weeks of abatement activity until it's complete, at which point demo should begin. Hurrah - a CLAW for Christmas!!!!! 
4. Construction start with the installation of the shoring system is likely to start end of February 2022. PRAY! Fr. Isaac Hecker, Servant of God, keep our progress steady. St. Austin, we know your way
was never smooth, yet you persevered - teach us to carry on in hope and prayer.

What does it look like?

Abatement including window removal at the school.

Abatement progress at Campus East. This pile of
debris will be scooped up and carried away during demolition.

This lateral stabilization excavation prepares for
the installation of buttressing that will reinforce our church walls.
