• I have obtained the proxies necessary from the Bishop for Fr. Raul to enter into contracts with others to clean up the mess and reconstruct what was damaged.
• We have been in discussions with attorneys, engineers, chancery, contractors, volunteer maintenance and insurance claims supervisors as well as phone calls to office concerning the rebuilding. Comstock placed plywood sheeting on the exposed walls of the gathering space and the kitchen and upper room on the south. Comstock will be bringing a crane on site and will pick the debris out of the parish center from on top.  The two sets of double doors from the gathering space have been secured with water dams to keep the rain out of the gathering space and the same with the kitchen and education wing.  There are eight heat ducts around the perimeter of the parish center that have been converted to act as drains for melting snow and rain.  Two of the furnaces in the mechanical room have been pulled and the ductwork under the floor will gather the water to the pedestal the furnaces sat on.  We have placed a trash pump in that collection bonnet and will pump rain or snow water from the ducts to the sewer.  These actions will assure the gathering space remains undamaged.
• Let us praise and thank Our Lord that no one was injured. Watch this space for more information as it becomes available.
