Parish Renovates School Gathering Space
As part of a larger plan to continue improving our parish facilities, we took on the gathering space and play area between the two school buildings. The work crew removed the cracked and warped asphalt, installed new drainage and put down a smooth new surface.
The area is used for school dropoff and pick up, recess time, the parish street festival and other activities.
