ATTENTION!!!
PARKING LOT & CHURCH ACCESS RESTRICTIONS
​
​
Due to some work that needs to be done in our parking lot, there will be some temporary challenges when entering the church for a few weeks.
​
On Monday and Tuesday - Sept. 28th & 29th - we will not be able to enter the church or chapel from the parking lot side!
​
Adoration will be suspended on those two days, AND we will need to enter church from the Union St. side.
​
After these two days, there will be a new concrete walkway available from the parking lot side, BUT you will have to walk up the grassy slope and use the 13th St. sidewalk. If you have difficulty walking, you may want to park on Union St. or 13th St.
Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Building Project
​
The next phase of the Sacred Space - Social Place Project has started - actual construction.
The estimate time for completion is 18-24 months. If you have ever been involved in any type of a construction project, the best laid plans seem to not go as planned, so let's figure on 24 months.
​
It is our intent to keep you updated on the progress through the bulletin and the website. Check out the pic to the left!
