A little snow can't stop our progress
Our latest photo gallery shows the addition of the church building as it continues to rise, despite a snowy March:
Gallery Six
The walls of the new addition continue to rise, and the floor for the main level has been poured. The cross shape created by the new transepts can be clearly seen in aerial photos by parishioner Rob Preston.
A new slideshow with 28 photos is on display in the parish center narthex before and after weekend Masses.
All five previous galleries are still available on the website:
