On March 2, 2022 we started the framing and are progressing well with the weather cooperating.
We have been blessed with clear, warm weather this week which allows construction to move forward quickly.
Along with funding, weather plays the next important roll in all construction projects.

The Sanctuary is not finished but the floors are installed and look good!

The woodwork is in process and still needs to be stained and finished. The Sinks and toilets still need to be installed. All is moving along good for you.

Notice the Cord hanging down in the center. This is the "Bell Cord" which will be embellished but is now functional.

The Stained Glass Windows and the Handmade Lights are in process by our craftsmen.

Let us give Thanks to Our Lord Jesus for this beautiful place of worship He has provided for us -
that we should each use it to Honor Him while he is present in it with us.
The Most Holy Eucharist (Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity!) of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

We thought that for our fellow Parishioners who wanted to see how things are going, and how we were putting their donations to work -
We would provide them with these photos so that they can be kept informed.
It's always nice to see how things are going, especially if you can not make it to the Church to see it in person.
(For our Parishioners that may have limitations in mobility or age.)

Thank you once again & May Our Lord Jesus Bless you.
Pax domine sit semper vobiscom.

Just a note of Thanks to my wife Bonnie, for all of her hidden assistance, in helping me make all of this work possible for you.
