With the turning of all of the required one hundred spindles completed and preliminary assembly underway, work on building the new altar rail is entering the final stages involving careful

adjustments, staining and finishing; all steps which need to be completed before the various pieces making up rail are brought to St. Anne and assembled in the sanctuary.  This last stage is likely to take longer than originally anticipated which means that on-site installation of the new rail may not begin until soon after May 10th.

The new altar rail is budgeted at $25,000 of which in excess of $23,700 has been raised so far thanks to parishioner generosity.
