Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School Dedicates New Entrance Pavilion

As students blew bubbles and dignitaries cut a ceremonial ribbon, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School  dedicated its new Entrance Pavilion and Canopy.

Located at 8250 Woodman Road in Henrico County, the school broke ground to renovate and expand their existing entry canopy as soon as school ended in the spring. The canopy project includes new covered walkways on either side of the new entry pavilion. The project also enlarges the canopy to allow more drop-off area during inclement weather. New lighting and security systems are also included, and the canopy walkways are completely accessible to the physically handicapped.

A new school emblem crowns the entry pavilion.

The $150,000 project was designed by local church architect, William HenryHarris, whose firm, William Henry Harris & Associates, Inc. has worked with more than 200 Virginia churches over the past 30 years.

The general contractor for the project is Evans Construction, Inc. of Sandston, VA.

St. John Baptist Church Steeple Installation

St. John Baptist Church, located at 8131 Roxbury Road in Charles
City County, closed the final chapter on its rise from the ashes with a Steeple raising that took place during the first week of June, 2011.

The new Steeple will crown a new Sanctuary and Educational Wing that replaced an existing historic church in Charles City County that fell victim to arson in 2004. The new facility was completed in 2007 and includes a 300-seat auditorium, administration space, fellowship space, and Christian education and support spaces. The traditional style church decided to wait for the Steeple until additional funds became available.

The $40,000 steeple was installed by Evans Construction of Sandston from designs by church architect William Henry Harris & Associates, Inc. of Richmond.
