We could not have been more pleased with the work accomplished by the team from Midland Engineering. It was clear from the beginning of our relationship with Midland that this was a special project for them. Even though they had such a vast array of projects under their belt, the uniqueness of this opportunity for them was evident by the constant care and reverence with which they approached the restoration of our church exterior. It was also evident in the joy and excitement that they shared with us each time a new piece of the work was coming to fruition. Their team did an outstanding job of keeping our property as neat, presentable, and safe as possible, even in the midst of such a massive scope of work. Not only was the property completely safe throughout the duration of the work, there was never a time when people had to approach the church through major disarray or grime. It was clear that the team was most vigilant to this crucial detail. And the parishioners were always so happy to see the workers, and they all told me how kind and respectful all of the workers were to them as they came to various activities throughout the day. I have told everyone that God gave us the best team possible under the best direction possible. It is my estimation that we could not have had a better on -site team leader than Lyle Bandurski. Lyle kept the project moving efficiently and professionally. If there was a minute to spare, work was being accomplished. We never had to worry that time was being wasted. From the first moments after our morning Mass until late afternoon, progress was being made. It was a joy for me each day to move about the scaffolding to see the good work they were accomplishing. I took countless pictures of the slate going in to place because I could not believe that anyone could make such straight lines out of pieces of rock! And the precision of the replication of the original copper crosses and finials is nothing short of magnificent) The team's work in piecing together such an intricate weave of slate and copper to restore our church's beauty and keep it safe from water was such a marvel to behold. And now our parishioners and our city can see the roof of this church and all of the copper appointments in the same way as it was seen in 1893. It is a marvel to us to be able to see the Church in its original glory, and all of this thanks to Midland Engineering! Sincerely, Very Reverend Kevin M. Bazzel, V.G., J.C.L. Rector
