Work has begun on preparing the supporting column which will receive the traditional pulpit acquired from the church of Notre-Dame-du-Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur d\u2019Issoudun in L\u00e9vis, Quebec, today sadly closed.<\/p>\n
Before the pulpit can be fixed to the column in the nave on the Gospel side, a robust infrastructure of steel needs to be put in place. Installed to engineered standards, it has been designed to ensure safety and stability. Once this work is complete, the pulpit will be placed in position and work on modifying the accompanying stairs to fit their new location in Saint Anne will be undertaken.<\/p>\n
The cost of installing the pulpit is estimated at $15,000.<\/p>\n
