Parishioners at the Queenship of Mary Church in Plainsboro have moved back into the building they call home, and it’s in time for Easter on Sunday, April 24.
Work to repair the roof of the church, which had partially collapsed in January, is complete, according to the church’s website, www.qomchurch.org.
The roof collapse left the building deemed unsafe by Plainsboro Township officials in January, and the church has been holding Mass at St. Joseph’s Seminary on Mapleton Road during repairs.
Since that time, the parish hired a project manager and engineer and posted updates on construction on a weekly basis. By mid-March, the church had raised its roof back to its appropriate position, and by March 17, a new steel hanger was installed to hold the work in place. Crews then worked to make other updates and repairs to the church.
During the ordeal, most of the church’s meetings and events were being held in places like Town Center Elementary School, Princeton Alliance Church, Nativity of Our Lord Church, St. Paul Church, St. Augustine Church, the Wyndhurst Clubhouse, and the homes of parishioners.
