Catholic Chapel Opens Again After Water Damage Repairs

September 5, 2012 by A. Kevin Valvardi

Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church at San Quentin has reopened after renovations and repairs to damage caused by a leaky roof.
The chapel was closed for a week in July during roof repairs by an outside contractor.
Inside renovations were done by the prison’s Plant Operations Department, facilitated by Supervisor Lorraine Hendrix.
The renovations also included the installation of two large, 60-inch, flat-screen monitors on the back wall of the altar area.
The monitors were donated by The Order of Malta in the United States and will be used to assist congregants in following along with the services. They will also be used for viewing instructional videos used during classes and other activities.
“They’re going to be very beneficial to the offerings the church provides us,” said Barry Fibiger regarding the new monitors.
