St. Mary Roman Catholic Church

The area around the tabernacle and the ambo (the pulpit) has been cleaned, as reported last week.  As the area is still exposed to the sky (no roof in that section), and as the area is still somewhat unstable (the damage to the support column), it has not been cleaned more than was deemed safe (thus, some debris remains, as well as the carpet in places).  However, here are some pictures showing the before...

And from a different perspective... these shots are taken from the position of the altar.  Before...

and after...

Also, look who was photographed intact!  There may be some slight damage to one of the feet of the Blessed Mother, but overall St. Anne and Our Lady are still smiling on us.
