A s you are aware, with the assistance of the diocese, the mission purchased 14 acres designed to be the future home for our faith community. You also know that in March we began the exciting first steps in transforming that land into a multipurpose building which will beer suit the needs of our growing mission, as excavation and site prep work began. Though we are still in the process of finalizing all of the details for our new facility, there are a few initial details we can share. We currently have an 80-foot by 120-foot building on the drawing board, which will seat between 300 and 400 people. While we are very thankful and blessed to have our current meeting space, just imagine having that much space to enjoy and celebrate Mass. The multipurpose building will give us more opportunities by: • Giving us room to grow. We cannot, nor do we want to, remain in a crowded basement for much longer. A new facility will allow us to increase in number. • Providing us space for more classes. As we increase in size, we plan to continue offering more and more educational opportunities for both youth and adults. • Increasing our ministries. With more room, we will beer reach out to our community and beer service them with more opportunities for them to join us.
