Work wellunderway at St. Patrick's
Jeff Heuchert
Having been in its planning
stages for approximately
three years, construction at
St. Patrick's Catholic Church,
in Dublin, is well underway
and is expected to be finished
by the end of October.
Joe Looby, chairman of the
church's building committee,
says a study and condition
report was conducted on. the
105 -year-old building a cou-
ple of years ago, which sug-
gested the building's beams
be reinforced.
"This is similar to what
other (older) churches are
doing," says Looby, adding
that St. Patrick's, like many
other churches built around
the turn of the century, has
an open design, which now
needs to be "tightened up," by
inserting tie rods into the
beams.
All ofthe work is being
done . by Allan Avis Architects
Inc., in Goderich and
Bronnenco Construction Ltd.,
in Ilderton.
Looby says they are also
having the roof reshingled,
°- r.i!! , ' t' iritegam:
noting that the old shingles
had reached their life
expectancy.
He adds they've also com-
pleted some related brick
work and built new posts for
the basement.
While the building commit-
tee is waiting a couple more
weeks before announcing the
final costs on the construc-
tion, Looby says all of the
money was raised through
donations from the church's
parishioners over the past
year and that the church is
still within its budget.
