A dream of many parishioners 20 years in the making, St. Peter Catholic Church is starting a renovation project. Located on Madison’s north side, this facility was originally intended to be a catholic school, however, was converted to a parish center. The sanctuary, which was designed as a gymnasium, will be renovated with new windows, flooring, a reredos wall, baldachin, altar, pendant lighting, and furnishings. Existing crowded offices will be remodeled to a user-friendly and efficient open office area. In the gathering space, partition wall dividers will be removed and replaced with fixed walls, creating a seating area and a new entrance to the sanctuary. Outside the facility, both entryways will receive canopy towers to enhance the appearance and create a more visible and inviting entrance. The first phase of this project, completed in September 2024, consisted of exterior site improvements, constructing a new ADA-compliant ramp, and stair replacement. The aggressive three-month schedule is aiming to finish in time for Palm Sunday. Plunkett Raysich Architects is providing architectural and interior design for this project.
