    • Adding an additional center support to reinforce the center of each pew
    • Restore the flooring under the pews
  • Restore the original main altar and accompanying tabernacle
    • Rebuild the 3 sanctuary steps leading to the altar
      • The top platform will accomodate the original main altar, as well as a newly constituted "main altar" for the future celebration of Mass
        • The original main altar will be used to repose the Blessed Sacrament
