Thousands of clay tiles will be removed and cleaned, while new roofing felt is laid down. The same clay tiles will then be put back on the church.
The church building is over 80 years old and the tile roof may be the original ones installed when the church was built.
Crews expect to spend two days removing the thousands of tiles and then four days repairing the roof and laying the tiles atop the roof again.
The clay tiles are waterproof and will last indefinitely unless dropped or broken. Crews will bring a four-story forklift in on Friday to reach tiles on top of the church steeple.
