Building For Our Future

Campaign Update

It is with great joy that I can announce that construction has begun on our new education, office expansion wing. We’ve had classes in our hall since the beginning of this parish and in recent days we have had meetings in our day chapel because of lack of space. After I got unpacked last year when I was transferred to Ss Simon & Jude I saw the need for such an expansion and moved quickly to make sure it kept on track. Fr. Metzger did a great job getting the project in a good position to launch a campaign and start building. We hit a small bump in the road with the pandemic but this parish has been very generous in coming forward to raise the monies we need for our project. I always try to keep everyone informed about the project and since we divided the project into 3 phases we could proceed with phase 1 with the Diocese regulations being followed. The Diocese requires: “Half the money in cash and the rest in pledges.” We have done that with phase 1 and I have faith that possibly this year we can proceed with phase 3. If you have not made a pledge your gift can make this a reality. 

I would like to thank Corna-Kokosing, Jim Valentas Senior Project Manager the Construction Company, and Scott Harper as the architect for keeping things moving along despite everything going on in our world. Many thanks to our parish building committee with so many great minds we will have great facilities. God Bless you and our parish, Fr Dwayne.
