The plan for renovation

Palm Sunday

To fulfill our mission in the 21st century, we must:

  1. Refurbish restrooms in the guesthouse and monastery
  2. Replace windows in the guesthouse and the monastery.
  3. Repair the leaking chapel roof and walls.
  4. Replace the 1960s steam heating and ventilation systems; install air conditioning with environmentally-responsible systems.
  5. Make the guesthouse, chapel, and monastery more handicapped-accessible.
  6. Refurbish a range of meeting spaces for one-on-one conversations, retreat groups of up to 20 people, and workshops and receptions for as many as 100 people, as well as office spaces for brothers and staff members.
  7. Create a common room in the monastery to accommodate all the brothers comfortably.
  8. Light the chapel tower to increase our visibility and witness.
  9. Install a stone and stucco, sound-deflecting wall around the perimeter of the property.
  10. Re-insulate the building for both temperature and sound.
  11. Rewire the 60 year-old electrical system and re-plumb the entire building.
