Window Graphics for St Brigids Catholic Church












Thanks to Kent Smith and soon-to-be Eagle Scout and son Connor for the referral to do the window graphics at St. Brigids Catholic Church, Dublin, Ohio.

St. Brigids is undergoing a big expansion to their worship area, expanding it by 50%. While it closes down for the construction Mass has been moved to the gym at the back of St. Brigid's school. They decided they wanted to dress up the side of the school everyone will pass by when walking by it when heading to Mass in the back of the building. This was the portion of the original horse stalls that the church was first started in.

Church leaders and members came up with a plan to add graphics to doors and windows on the side of the building that will mirror window treatments on the rest of the building. In addition landscaping was added a an integral part of the improvements.

When church leaders were looking for someone to organize and spearhead the operation they spoke with parish member Kent Smith who's oldest son had done a similar project as part of earning his Eagle Scout status.

Just so happens that younger son Connor, a sophomore at Dublin Coffman H.S. is close to earning his Eagle Scout status and needed a major community service project as part of his becoming an Eagle Scout. Since big brother is now at University of Cincinnati studying architecture and can't do the job dad kind of "volunteered" young Connor.

Kent and Connor held a series of meetings with church leaders and planners to review plans and coordinate the project and budget. Kent and Connor were referred to SIGN A RAMA Worthington by Dan G. at Solar Solutions in Westerville.

We added the cross in all the windows and the doors. In the door we added frosted vinyl and a protective laminate in the back of the graphics to protect the vinyl work from kids school bags and kicks.

Kent said two months later he's still hearing compliments on the way the job turned out. The vinyl graphics, the landscaping and the repainting of the trim around the windows took something that was pretty blah and unremarkable and for minimal dollars turned it into something that's nice and distinctive.

And...I've been invited to Connor's Eagle Scout ceremony. Having never been to one I'm really looking forward to it. He's a couple of badges away so shouldn't be long. It was truly a pleasure working with Kent, Stacey and Connor Smith on this project.

Congratulations in advance to Connor for what is an extremely noteworthy achievemant.
