Various Renovation Projects – Summer 2010

In an on-going effort to beautify the exterior of the St. Francis de Sales campus, a few projects were completed at the Oratory this summer.

In June, thanks to the initiative of a dedicated family, the gardens around the church underwent a complete facelift. New plantings of perennials flourished over the summer months, bringing a new verdant liveliness to the landscaping around the Oratory.

In July, a new lighting system was installed to highlight the church tower at night, making the illuminated tower as prominent a part of St. Louis’ nightscape as it is during the day.

In August, the crumbling concrete steps leading up to the convent, unsightly and a potential safety hazard, were torn down and rebuilt.  

New light poles were installed to direct illumination towards the tower.
