Restoration of Front Entrance Steps at Saint Patrick Church Groveland, Massachusetts
The front steps to the entrance of Saint Patrick Church in Groveland, Massachusetts were made of beautiful red mahogany wood. At some point in time the steps were painted over with gray paint which covered up the natural beauty of the wood steps. Christ the King Council 5004 volunteered to restore the steps to their natural beauty. Several members of Council 5004 spent several days sanding and hand stripping the old paint off the steps and replacing rotted wood. The members of Council 5004 then stained the steps with a semi-transparent stain to bring out the natural red mahogany characteristics of the wood steps. Between labor and materials Council 5004 saved Sacred Hearts Parish approximately $5,000.00.
