One of the most challenging preservation tasks we've faced is the spire restoration at St. Rose. Thanks to our great volunteers, we re-shingled the octagonal spire. Soaring heights were too daunting to reach with scaffolding this time. We rented a lift truck and fortunately experienced ideal weather during the month of July which allowed this project to be completed safely. Click here to view pictures taken during the project.
