The careful work involved in revealing details hidden by years of over-painting, correcting old, imperfect repairs and addressing areas of loss now complete, restoration of the altars dedicated to Our Lady and Saint Joseph has moved to its final stage of colour application.

This beginning of the final stages in the restoration means that the altars should soon be ready to return to their place in the sanctuary at Saint Anne where any small, final touches can be carried out.

With the approval of the Archdiocese, the work to restore the side altars is being undertaken by Atelier Plantagenêt who carried out the restorative treatment on the high altar.

The restoration of the two side altars is budgeted at $24, 800 (plus applicable taxes). To date, parishioner generosity has raised $ 16,460 towards the cost of the restoration. You can help meet the projected cost by contributing to the Side Altar Restoration Fund.
