Inspected

Above Jess Long from Boyd Jones Construction presented Fr. Damian with the Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Papillion and let him know that the Fire Marshall has approved the new chapel and sacristy for use.

Archbishop Lucas has advised us that when we move the Eucharist to the new tabernacle it ought to be done within a Eucharistic Procession when many of the faithful can be in attendance. The plan is to close the 5 p.m. Mass on Saturday with that Eucharistic Procession. This means that the chapel will be used for private, silent Eucharistic Adoration starting around 6 p.m. on Saturday.

How will the new storage work?

With the addition of the new chapel, there is storage space below it as well. At the bottom of the new stairs is a door leading into the building.

That door leads into a small entry area. One of the doors (with the board currently across it in the picture above) leads into the kitchen.

Above is a picture of that same

 door from the kitchen side.

 Then there is also a door to

 the north of this entry area.

That door leads into a storage area. On Monday this is one of the things the Fire Marshall will look at. If all goes well, we'll be able to bring in shelving and start filling it up.

A Peek Into the Chapel

Friday the new carpet was installed into the chapel. One January 28th, the Fire Inspector will check it out. If all goes well, we should be ready to have Eucharistic Adoration in this space in February.
