New Lower-Level Passage Taking Shape

As a result of a slight revision of the original construcion plans, a passageway is being created at the end of the Epiphany Chapel to connect the existing church basement with the new parish hall wing. At center in the view above is the entry to the passageway as seen seen from the inside of the new parish hall basement. Directly above it is where the new doorway between the parish hall and the kitchen will be located, and to the left of that is the doorway to the former main entrance to the church. Below, a mason works in the new hallway in the existing building. In order to retain the value of the large stained glass window in the Epiphany Chapel, visible at far left in the photo below, it will be left in place, and a huge picture window will be installed above the waist-high wall which will separate the hallway from the existing Chapel. This will allow people going through the hallway to appreciate the stained glass, while keeping it visible from the Chapel.
