The Boston church now has a new lightweight composite tile roof that looks like the original slate tile that was installed 75 years ago.

Thanks to the efforts of volunteer church members, the St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine in Boston has a new roof overhead. Scrambling high atop the famous Roman Catholic Church on Boylston Street, the church members replaced heavy, old slate shingles with lightweight composite tiles from DaVinci.

“The research I did showed that the Bellaforté tiles have a long lifespan and can withstand a wide variety of severe weather,” says Father Peter Grover, OMV. “We selected the slate gray color of tiles which has received many compliments from our members and the neighborhood residents.

“This product truly looks like the original slate tile that was placed on our church and chapel more than 75 years ago. The Bellaforté product allowed us to preserve both the historical look and feel of our facilities. We also gained the advantage that these polymer tiles resist fire, high winds and severe weather. That gives us all peace-of-mind knowing that our church facility and seminary are protected.”
