There is no water in the Church. Repairs will take some time.
As a temporary measure, as we wait for the restoration of service,
we've secured two portalets and a handwashing station.
They're set up outside the Church for the exclusive use of our community. 

We will also make the 500 W. MLK bathrooms available before and shortly after these Masses
Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 8:45 and 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. 

1. We're on track to receive our site development permit that allows construction work to begin when demolition is complete. 

2. As debris removal continues west of the alley, demolition is scheduled to begin on the east side of the alley with work starting on Paulist Hall this week. 

3. AT&T should remove their pressure cabinet located at the head of the alley and 21st soon, although we haven't heard from them recently. Send prayers that the process goes smoothly. 

4. Last week’s freeze caused the water line to the rectory to crack. As daily Mass viewers have heard, the result is that water in the church remains off. Repairs to the line will likely take some time. 

5. Excavation on the West side of the alley began this week. 

6. A critical step in the process of constructing a mock-up of the development project is the receipt of material samples. Those samples are starting to arrive. Completion of the mock-up is on track for March.

What does it look like?

Dump trucks queued up on MLK from the east to turn north onto San Antonio
Street to pick up loads of debris as others lined up from the west.
