A second pre-construction meeting was held at St. Joseph’s on Tuesday, January 12.  In attendance, once again were representatives of the LAW Company, Dan Alcala, Project Manager, and Terry Winn, Project Superintendent, Bob Faires, architect and Derek Basinger, architectural assistant from Howard & Helmer Architects, Fr. David, Peggy Bahr, School Principal and Farrell Pedreauville, parish liason for the construction project.  At this meeting a tentative schedule of construction was discussed.

PLEASE NOTE: The following time frames for the project are very tentative given unforeseen building conditions such as weather.  At this time, the LAW Company is planning to begin locating construction trailers and storage containers at St. Joseph’s by mid February.  These structures will be located in the west section of the parking lot, directly south of the school.  Approximately 44 parking stalls will be taken up during the period of construction.  Parking strategies will be further discussed and publicized to the parish.  Most likely, people will need to begin parking on Sonora street once the parking lot fills up for Sunday Mass.

Work on the bell tower and adoration chapel is tentatively being planned to start in March and to be completed by mid-July.  Work on the new gymnasium/activity center is set to begin in late February and to be completed by the end of September or early October.  The remodel and renovation of the current parish hall and parish and school offices are set to begin May 31st and to be completed by mid August. Again, these are very rough estimates, but offered here to give parishioners a sense of when to expect construction activity to begin.  Continue to pray for favorable conditions for our project!
