Mission Statement
We, the parish community of Saint Charles Borromeo,are called by our Baptism to spread the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ to love God and one another. We respond to this call by deepening our faith through active participation in the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, and by sharing our time, talent and treasure to serve others within and outside our parish community. We envision ourselves to be a people of faith, hope and love as we are led by the Holy Spirit in celebrating the Kingdom of God.
PARKING LOT
QuIn selecting the process to use in reworking the parking lot we examined many ways to do this. The most common are as follows:
1. Complete removal of the old surface and rebuild with 12" of aggregate, plus bituminous fill and overlay. This is cost prohibitive - about $1 million.
2. Mill off 2" and repave with 2" of new surface. We do not have enough foundation for this process; our present parking lot has only 1 3/4" - 3" of paving on top of dirt.
3. Seal coat - this is not much more than painting the surface - it only lasts 1-3 years and cracks will show through.
4. We selected Slurry Seal since it is the most cost effective system to rework the parking lot. It places a coating of approximately 1/4" - 3/8" over the existing surface. It fills cracks and lasts 5 years or more. Slurry Seal is made up of asphalt, concrete, and aggregate (small stones). The aggregate provides a non-skid, tough wear surface. However, it is not a smooth surface; the appearance is somewhat rough. After it cures in about 6 weeks we will review the surface and if necessary place a seal coat over it. The parking stripes will then be painted
