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.

God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw how good the light was. Gen 1:3-4.
Resurrection Church has been graced with beautiful suspended light fixtures for as long as we can remember. Quality and quantity of light have been an ongoing concern in recent years. Lenses were cleaned and bulbs were changed in hopes of improving light output, but that never seemed to be enough. Now was an opportune time to inspect the fixtures as they were taken down. These traditional pendant lights were showing their age, which was not surprising.
Gary Konrath offered his time and passion to tackle the task of restoration. Recently, he carefully disassembled each fixture, gently removed the tarnish, and applied a new finish. Electricians have replaced and rewired damaged sockets.
.
Much has changed in the world of lighting since Thomas Edison’s contribution to the reliable, widespread use of light bulbs. The evolution to LED technology brings bulbs with color options from yellowish to white. We chose neutral tone illumination for optimum light reflection of the newly finished walls and ceiling. The combination of these updates will improve the beauty of our church as well as the quality of light, enabling lively worship for generations to come. (From 1/5/26 bulletin) Below are before (first two pictures) and after refurbishment pictures of the ceiling light fixtures.
A Bit of History Uncovered
Some items of history were recently discovered within the organ pipe closet in the choir loft. This wood box stored wood items made in Italy, likely used for the original altar. The box came from the Dubuque Altar Mfg. Co in Iowa and was shipped via the American Railway Express Co. to the Allenton Railway Depot, likely in the 1920's.
The photos show the type of decorations. Interestingly, the actual shipping box was repurposed for this shipment and was previously used to ship dynamite!
If you have any older photos of the church that you would like to share, please contact us. (Posted 1/21/26)
