The marble from Italy has arrived at Port Elizabeth and will be delivered to St. Columba on Wednesday. Thus we will begin the final phase of the church work. The marble is all pre-cut. Now it needs to be assembled: sanctuary floor, altar, pulpit, tabernacle stand, baptismal font and floor medallions.
Other remaining work: oak wood floor for the choir area (already cut and ready for installation) , return and installation of the upgraded organ console, reconnect sound system with new locations, installation of kneelers (they are built and are in storage, but likely won't be installed until after church re-opens in early October.).
Our contractor, Baker Liturgical Art, tells us we are still on track for October 1. Pray there will be no complications! Thanks for your patience!
