Construction News: Updated June 13, 2025
Dear Parishioners,
This week the footing walls were poured for the Parish Center addition. The temporary wall blocking the existing classroom hallway was moved closer to the elevator so they can more easily work in the St. Anne and St. Joachim classrooms. If you want to use the elevator to get upstairs to the worship area of the church, please continue to enter through Door 1 (the Pantry door) from the south parking lot. If you want to use the main staircase to enter the worship area, Door 2 remains open to the staircase.
Our Parish Office, which is located in a temporary office trailer in the church parking lot near Door 1, now has electrical power and all the furnishings needed for our office staff to accomplish their work.
Dirt has been moved for the new Food Pantry on the southwest corner of our property. Now they can pour the footings and footing walls. It has been rewarding seeing the Pantry work begin, as well.
There are many moving parts to these two projects – building the addition to the Parish Center and building a new Food Pantry – and we look forward with great anticipation to their completion. At the same time, our Rectory is bursting with activity as Deacon Colton Steiner and Seminarian Griffin Schaeffer are living there with us for a few weeks, and Fr. Artz has made a portion of the Rectory basement into his temporary office during construction.
In this Jubilee Year of Hope, we place the success of these projects in the hands of our patroness, Our Lady of Grace, imploring her to lift our intentions to her Son, that blessings may pour down upon this work, those who are accomplishing it, those who are making it possible with their financial sacrifices, and those we will serve through our expanded facilities.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Adam Maus
