CHARLOTTE — Repair work is under way on the roof and walls of St. Patrick Cathedral to address extensive water damage to the 83-year-old church.
Work includes fixing a leaky roof, waterproofing the building’s western façade and repairing the interior plaster walls.
Masses have been moved temporarily to the cathedral’s Family Life Center, and Mass schedules could be affected as the work progresses, Father Christopher Roux, rector, announced Sept. 24.
Renovation work will stop just before Christmas so Masses can be held in the cathedral, and will restart after Jan. 1, with hopes to complete this phase of repair work by Easter 2023, he said.
Renovations are being funded by proceeds from the 2015 “Forward in Faith, Hope and Love” campaign.
