St. Andrews, Ft. Wayne IN

We hope to bring this church back to its original glory. In order to do this, we will first focus on the exterior which is in need of substantial repair. The two bell towers will need extensive work as will the current roof. Other repairs are needed on the outside which include the steps and making the building accessible for those with mobility challenges. 

Once the exterior work is complete we will begin our focus on the interior. Our goal is to bring the interior back to its original glory to the extent that we are able. We plan on restoring the sanctuary completely which would include installing a reredos with a High Altar and side altars as well as an age appropriate communion rail. The current organ will also be restored. 

St. Andrews will continue to remain a Roman Catholic oratory which serves the local community and is home to the Poor Claire Sisters and the Franciscan Friars Minor. 

Early estimates are that these repairs will cost between $2.5 million to $3 million.
