Here are some pictures from the last few months to give you an idea of our progress.
The walls of the chapel are made of foam forms filled with concrete (ICF or Insulated Concrete Forms). The diocese takes buildings such as ours very seriously. We were required to build it of brick & mortar or stone. ICF is very energy efficient and less expensive than brick, so the diocese encouraged us to use it for our structure. As a result, the chapel will be strong, cool, and quiet. In addition, we placed all of the air conditioning duct work under the floor to minimize noise and maximize cooling in the 110+ degree summers.
We have come a long way in a short amount of time. The picture below was taken only 3 months later.

, D.L. Withers. John keeps a clean and safe job site. D.L. Withers has been exceptional in their interactions with the parish and their reverence for the spiritual nature of this project. They work with integrity and we are continually impressed with the high quality of their work and their ability to remain on schedule. December 2009
