In Fall 2022, LAPC launched a $1.2M Front Foundation Project capital campaign, leveraging a $250,000 matching grant from the National Fund for Sacred Places, to address urgent repairs needed due to structural deterioration of the front foundation facing Lafayette Avenue.

The project included roof work to redirect the water off the front facade to a new drainage system; excavating and masonry work to waterproof and stabilize the front foundation walls and brick piers that support the front façade, narthex, and arch above; restoring the wooden cornice and window surrounds; refurbish and restore the front entrance doors, the three lanterns above the doors, front steps and installation of new bluestone patio.

The project was completed in August 2023, and now the patio in front of the church is a place for the community to enjoy music performances, poetry readings, social justice activities, coat drives, arts & crafts gatherings, and more.
