The final bricks of the walls were laid the following week. The walls around the entire church stood at 48 ft from the floor. The arches had been set both in the sanctuary and in front of the church. The 3-ft pillars were poured up to their final height of 48 ft. The next major step was the parapet, which extended 2 ft out from the wall around the entire church. It took almost one month to complete, as the wooden form had to be created, and pouring at that height required significant time. Once the parapet was finished, the roof was welded together, and the roofing tiles assembled. Before the roof was installed, the sides were plastered with a special kind of plaster to ensure that moisture in the air would not affect the walls of the church. The roof was successfully completed before August.

The arch in front of the church had been poured, measuring 30 ft wide and 15 ft tall, standing 34 ft from the front porch level. Approaching the arch from the courtyard, visitors were greeted by a view of the windows just above the choir loft. The gospel-side wall stood at 48 ft above the church floor, awaiting only the cement lintel to be poured over its top to complete it. The epistle-side wall had reached 39 ft, aligning with the top of the windows. The 3-ft pillars at the front of the church stood at 37–38 ft, with an additional 12 ft needed to reach their final height. The arch in the sanctuary was being set up, mirroring the size of the arch at the front but positioned slightly higher. The trusses were welded together using angle iron. Construction progress was steady, and the team remained grateful for the prayers and support of benefactors. The roof was completed on schedule by August.

Church construction was advancing steadily. A total of 32 pillars had been poured—2 in the sacristy, 6 in the sanctuary, 16 in the nave, 4 under the choir loft, and 4 at the front of the church. Two of these front pillars, intended to reach 50 ft, had been built up to 17 ft at the time. The steps and porch in front of the church were poured, along with the stairs leading to the choir loft. The choir loft itself was poured shortly afterward, sitting 17 ft above the church floor on the supporting pillars. Once the choir loft was completed, a 2-ft x 1-ft beam was constructed atop the pillars, running around the entire church. Cement blocks were then laid atop this beam until the walls reached the planned height of 50 ft. Alongside this, work progressed on the two arches—one in the sanctuary and one at the front of the church. These arches, standing on pillars spaced 30 ft apart, began about 20 ft above the floor. The progress was made possible through the generous support of benefactors across the United States, Europe, and Nigeria. Prayers continued to be offered for all contributors, with Holy Mass celebrated weekly in their honor.

By this time, significant progress had been made in the construction of the church. Thousands of blocks were prepared for the walls, and work began on forming the pillars that would support the upper walls and roof. The holes for the pillars were dug, and construction efforts intensified with the hope of completing most of the church within a few months. An engineer and project manager, known for his exceptional work on similar projects in Nigeria, was hired. He brought along a trusted team to assist in the process. Parishioners and faithful from across Nigeria contributed generously, both with their time and donations, showing great enthusiasm for the church being built for God and the Traditional Latin Mass.
