The photos below were taken after the Camp Oversight Committee Meeting on July 13, 2002. The committee met to review construction progress plus a number of issues relating to the indoor and outdoor finishes of the building.

Issues discussed included the design of the cornerstone, building materials and colors, positioning of the donated bells, cupolas, bell tower and specifically the hand made wooden roof shingles which will be coming from the Rusyn Village of Tichy Potok in the Carpathian Mountains of Slovakia. Interior appointments including the Iconostas and Chandeliers were also on the agenda.

Assembly of the steel framed roofing system which will define the outline of the church began on Monday July 15, 2002.
