Western Specialty Contractors Performs Complete Façade Restoration of Historic Catholic Church
In Christianity, the Easter season symbolizes the resurrection of Christ, a new light and a new life. And while many churches across the United States are closed during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently for Easter mass, one Catholic parish in Union, Missouri used its closure to make much-needed repairs to its historic church.
St. Joseph Neier Catholic Church hired Western Specialty Contractors – St. Louis Masonry branch at the end of March 2020 to perform a complete masonry restoration on its 9,000-square-foot church’s façade. The historic church was originally constructed in 1868. In 1897, the upper part of the tower and the 90-foot steeple were completed. Renovations were made to the church in 1961, then again in 1998.
