While much time and effort by Knight Hands lately has been expended on moving tables, chairs, pianos/organ, bookcases, pews and many other items to prepare the church for renovation, many other projects were also completed during this time period.  Here are a couple highlights of recent work. 

On June 14, 2021, Jose Montoya did the vast majority of work on building 2 steel cremains stands.  Jose spent about 10 hours manufacturing these beautiful and practical stands.

When the Masses were moved from the church to the gymnasium, the chapel altar was utilized but the altar was too small, so Allen Reitmeier built and installed a new larger top to accommodate our priests’ wishes.  This job took a total of six man hours.
