The Elevator hardware will arrive mid-February. Once installed, safety inspections can take up to 10 weeks.
Vinnie's will be closed, probably until spring. The area is still a construction zone. Please hold your donations.
Various group activities may be affected by access restrictions during elevator installation.
Please read carefully.
Scope of the work

Chapel entrance & Mass access
•The Chapel entrance will remain open for Mass and Adoration.
