Parish Email Update
We are in the process of implementing our new Parish Data System. It has a feature that allows us to send emails directly through the program. You may notice parish related email messages in your Inbox from Resurrection Church sent from 'notifications@ondemandmail.com'. These are legitimate emails from our parish office.
Help Us Keep Our Records Current
It is important for the parish office to have up-to-date contact information for all parishioners. Please notify the parish secretary at office@resurrectionallenton.org with any updates to your street address, phone number, and/or email address.
Refurbishment Update Corner
During our church refurbishment, our weekend Masses will be held at the same times at St. Lawrence. You will be greeted by the same friendly faces you see each week at Resurrection. Some things to be aware of, especially if you are not familiar with St. Lawrence church…
- Handicap parking is in front of church on Hwy 175
- General parking is in the lot across Hwy. K. Use caution when crossing the street.
- Restrooms are only handicap accessible through a basement exterior entrance with greeter’s assistance.
- Those with mobility limitations typically sit in the back of church. Let a greeter know if you would like Holy Communion brought to you.
- If at any time before, during, or after Mass you need assistance, please talk to a greeter.
- On Sunday, please disperse promptly; St. Lawrence has a 10:00 Mass. As guests, we want to respect their hospitality.
Temporary dwelling, eternal faith.

Most Recent Update
The pews in Resurrection church were removed last November. Employees from Wood Renovators disassembled each pew, marked the individual pieces, and transported them to their woodworking facility in Waupaca. Having recently reached the halfway point of the refinishing process, notification came that a sample of a stained pew end was ready for viewing. An invitation to tour the business was accepted in late January. During the visit, our pew parts were visible at various stations and stages in the refinishing process. Repairs were completed as needed; pews were cut down to allow wider side aisles as requested. Many thought our pews were oak, but it seems likely that they were built from ash lumber and had a “pickled” finish. The finish was removed using a laser stripping technique. Viewing the laser in action required safety goggles with green lenses. The focused laser beam offers advanced technology to remove layers of coatings without the use of harsh chemicals that could damage the underlying wood. This effective, efficient process preserves the natural beauty of the wood grain which may be compromised with traditional stripping methods.
Once all the finishes and stains are removed, the pew parts will go back to the repair area to be checked again and sanded as needed. Finally, these pieces will be hung in the finishing room. The approved, custom mixed stain and catalyzed lacquer top coats will be applied. When we’re ready, the pew parts will be delivered and reassembled in our church.
Sherwin Williams did a color match from the wood sample provided by our refurbishment committee. The wood stain has a warm undertone that will blend well with the new flooring and paint colors. Parishioner’s comments after seeing the rendering included hopes that the pews wouldn’t be too dark. This input was taken into consideration when decisions were made. (From 2/8/2026 bulletin)
