Photo Gallery: Renovation of Church Interior, 2023-2024

More than thirty years after the last renovation of the interior of St. Francis Church, the parish, prompted by crumbling plaster, electrical issues, lighting and sound concerns, and fraying carpets, made the decision to move forward with another renovation. This large project began in July 2023. This gallery of photos includes a few introductory images of the church before the project began, other images of the temporary space in Assisi Hall that was used for liturgies during the renovation, and others of the project in progress (more photos will be added as the work continues). Credit for the photos belongs to Jeremy Bailey, Nancy Hanna, and James Dutton.

The renovation was carried out by Harman Construction of Harrisonburg, Virginia, and the company has given permission for St. Francis to include the two videos below: one of the construction in progress, the other of the finished project. Below the videos is a link to two slideshows, again included with the approval of Harman.
