I can't believe it has already been three weeks since I last updated you all on the progress of the Divine Mercy Chapel! It has been so eventful and the chapel is coming along nicely! The roof structure is on and the bell tower is installed. Also, we are finishing the walls on the inside with really fine stucco.
We had to form and pour two large concrete beams across the center part of the cross to support the roof.
We decided, for both strength and beauty to install wood beams that measure 3" x 8"
The inside is really starting to pick up the final feel!
While the guys were starting the stucco on the inside a couple of us went up with the bell tower.
Gonzalo, the master at stucco, is putting on the finish of the inside walls.
The parapet wall is going on around the perimeter of the roof and the bell tower structure is finished.
This project has been extremely rewarding for me to be a part of. I pray that God will use this building to draw many people into his ocean of mercy. While building this, I have become very interested in the devotion to the divine mercy and have started reading St. Faustina's diary. It is an incredible book/devotion and hope many will read it and draw close to Jesus.
Praise you Lord for drawing us to this life!
