Repairs to the Cathedral
On June 3, 2007 at the Extra-Ordinary
Meeting, a motion was passed to start work on the re-caulking of all
windows. Work has begun on June 13, 2007.
This year, St. Sophie Cathedral is facing major expenses because of the
need to address repairs to the building caused by extensive water
infiltration. These repairs are urgent if we are to prevent irreparable
damage to the building as a whole and to precious icons adorning our
sanctuary.
The repairs are to take place in three stages:
1. Re-caulking of all the windows
2. Repairing the damage around the windows caused by moisture, togehter
with replastering.
3. Repainting the inside of the Church
Quotations for the cost of re-caulking alone, are in the range of
$100,000.
We have already started a campaign to raise funds from our parishioners
to cover the first phase of the work. As of the end of May, we have
raised $23,600.
