Little Flower Chapel Update
We’re getting closer! Thank you for your continued patience and support as we work to restore and renew our beloved Little Flower Chapel. There has been a lot happening behind the scenes throughout the summer, and we’re excited to share some of the progress!
Our goal is to have the Chapel ready to reopen for Adoration in late September or early October. We’ll continue to provide updates as we get closer to reopening.
Window Updates
The Chapel’s windows are already looking and performing better than ever!
We have successfully installed new metal window frames and triple-pane glass, providing significantly improved thermal protection against Minnesota’s temperature swings throughout the year.
The original wood frames had deteriorated over time, and the old single-pane glass provided very little insulation. Replacing these components will help protect the Chapel while creating a much more comfortable environment for years to come.
Stained Glass Update
Our beautiful stained-glass windows have all been carefully removed and sent to a specialty manufacturer for restoration.
The windows are receiving the attention and care they need before making their way back home to the Chapel. We currently anticipate having the restored stained glass reinstalled in November 2026.
We can’t wait to see these beautiful pieces back where they belong!
Flooring Update
The old carpet has been removed, and new tile is being installed throughout the Chapel.
Work is progressing nicely, and we anticipate the tile installation being completed within the next couple of weeks. Be sure to check out the photo below to see the progress!
Stations of the Cross
We’re also excited to have received new Stations of the Cross for the Chapel!
Installation is expected to take place over the next month as the renovation work begins to wrap up. These new Stations will be a beautiful addition to the renewed Chapel and help create a prayerful space for reflection.
Almost Home
There is still work to be done, but we’re seeing exciting progress every week. Thank you for your patience, prayers, and understanding throughout this renovation.
We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back into the Little Flower Chapel soon!
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to reopening.
