SELECTING THE PEWS
One of the areas for consideration when building a new church is the selection of pews. Areas that have to be considered include: the species of the wood, the grain of the wood, whether or not the pews should have cushions, and should the new pews have hymnal racks and end-pieces.
Participating in an interview with one pew manufacturing company included the input of several parishioners: Frank Bivona, Karyn Mucks, Dr. Lauren Longo, Mary Anne Clark, and Father John Job, Pastor of the Church of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Included in the conversation were the President and Vice President of the Student Council at our Academy of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Lorenzo Guarino and Devyn Nielsen.
Guarino states: "I felt very included during the meeting and talking with the pew-making company was great. The pews we saw were beautiful, and the examples they showed were amazing. I was very happy to be a part of the meeting, and I can't wait to see those pews in our new church."
Nielsen echoes Guarino's thoughts: "There is so much excitement and innovation that contribute to such an important structure. I got to see one of the most traditional components that makes a church. It was really interesting to learn about the different pews and how they are made. These are all considerations in interior design that have to be contemplated when designing such an inspiring structure. Truly, there are a lot of people who are working together to make this happen."
The students at our Academy of the Most Blessed Sacrament are getting a "bird's eye" when it comes to building a new church, and we are grateful for their insights.

AMBS students enjoy "field trip"
The students and faculty of the Academy of the Most Blessed Sacrament visited the site where our new church building is being constructed.
The AMBS community prayed a decade of the Rosary for the success of the project and for the safety and health of all of the construction workers.
Mr. Tim Goetz (Project Executive) and Mr. Oneil Gifford (Superintendent) from Donnelly Construction gave the students a presentation on what goes into constructing such a large edifice, including the necessity for providing a solid foundation. "Mr. Tim" and "Mr. Oneil" handled a Q and A from the students, and they told us that we could visit again in the weeks ahead.
Our students are looking forward to their next "field trip!" -
