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!
