Staying Connected

Dear Friends,

We have done extensive research on our church roof at CTK and we are proceeding with the work as our church is of great priority. 
The skylight in the baldacchino at the center of the roof at Christ the King Church was found to be a significant source of leakage of rainwater into the roof structure at our church. A temporary repair was made last winter but we decided to have a roofer do a permanent fix this summer. He completely resurfaced the flat portion of the roof within the baldacchino with new underlayment, shingles, a new curb to support the skylight and a new skylight. He also coated the inside, outside and top of the baldacchino with an acrylic roofing coating to prevent moisture penetrating the baldacchino.


During his repairs he noted that the scupper outfall from the baldacchino flowed cross-slope as well as down  slope on the roof. This allowed water to work under the roof ridges and onto the plywood to the north of the scupper. He believed that this was the source of the water that was leaking through our church ceiling near the choir loft. He also suggested that he remove some of the roofing down low on the sloped roof and above the area where sheetrock damage was noted in the ceiling just inside the inner church doors, near the church entrance. That revealed that there was significant water damage to a 6 inch by 10 inch beam and some of the 2 by 10 inch joists that intersected that beam on the down-slope side of that large beam. Further inspection from openings to the ceiling of the church in a few areas indicated that the damage was more extensive than originally suspected.

As a result, we are proposing to do some structural repair, water-proofing upgrades, roof ventilation and re-roofing of the entire roof.


Our goal is to do the required repairs next summer when the rains are over. To do that we see the following schedule. We have asked tBP/Architecture to address the architectural, structural and water proofing concerns identified in the WP Moore investigation already completed.


We envision that the project will include the following tasks:

  • Removal of the existing shingles and tar paper from the roof
  • Removal of four feet to eight feet of plywood on either side of the 6x10 beam
  • Inspection of the revealed plywood and removal of any damaged plywood
  • Inspection of the insulation, sheetrock and joists to see the extent of the water damage, if any
  • Physical replacement of any damaged material
  • Installation of design-based ventilation openings on the roof
  • Detailed inspection of the baldacchino area with modifications as necessary to inhibit any leakage.


Design Schedule:

Notice to Proceed: November 8, 2024 – completed, Design Development: November – December 2024,

Construction Document: January – February 2-25, Permitting/Bidding: March-April 2025

Award and Mobilization: May 2025

The diocese has approved $98,500 to do the necessary engineering and water proofing calculations to define the system sufficiently for the bid process. Structural repairs, permitting and roof replacement will add another $500,000-$600,000 to the overall cost of the project. We will need your financial support towards this project. I will be personally contributing $ 5000.00 over the next year. Thank you.
