Construction Update

Yes, it’s unsightly. No one likes it. But on a beautiful building like ours, it’s sometimes necessary.
I’m talking about scaffolding, that intricate web of wood and steel that’s covering most of the church. For half a year now–and to the chagrin of many–the tremendous exterior of St. Vincent Ferrer has been hidden from view. Behind the protective netting, however, construction crews are working non-stop to clean and repoint the church’s masonry and to replace its copper roof. Recently, we’ve been able to see the first fruits of their labor. As you can see in the pictures below, new sheets of copper are now visible where the old sheets had long ago been covered by a lime-green sealant.
