Heads Up!
If the Narthex seems a bit brighter this weekend, it’s with good reason. Three beautiful new chandeliers have been installed. This project nearly completes the restoration of the Church, begun in the summer of 2008. Be sure to look up and admire the new lighting fixtures the next time you’re passing through the Narthex on your way to or from the Church.
