Dear Parishioners,

It is quite a balancing act building a Parish Center Addition while continuing to conduct the daily functions of an active parish.  We meet weekly with the contractors and discuss the calendar, indicating when the construction efforts will have to be quiet for funerals and other church activities.  We appreciate that the construction companies have been wonderful to work with, our parish staff members have been so flexible, and those of you in our parish family have offered words of support and understanding throughout this time.  Please continue to pray for the safe and efficient completion of this project, and for the construction workers, our staff and parishioners.

Parish Center Addition

If you drove by the church this week, you might have seen that there is now an exterior wall opening between the Sts. Anne & Joachim classrooms and the framing of the new Parish Center addition, offering a glimpse of how we will eventually be able to walk from the original classroom hallway into the newly constructed addition.

All of the below-the-surface heating, ventilation, air conditioning and plumbing work for the Parish Center addition is complete and gravel was being put in this week.  Cement will be poured next week if there are no rain delays.

Progress is also being made in the upper level where the former parish office was located.  The electrical panel will soon be in place, ductwork is being installed, and framing of the walls continues.  The two office windows that were removed for trash removal have been sealed up. 

Food Pantry

Most of the underground mechanical and electrical work is completed for the Food Pantry that is being built on the southwest corner of our property.  We expect the cement to be poured next week.  The Pre-engineered metal building is scheduled to arrive in early August.

Temporary Parish Office

If you are unable to navigate the staircase leading to our temporary parish office located in the trailer, please give us a call at our parish office number (701-852-3002 or 701-839-6834) and let us know how we can help you.  If you are coming to the church, we can meet you at your vehicle or inside the church.  We’ll even make a home visit, if needed.

The changes due to construction can be challenging and we want to make sure we are serving our parish members in the best ways that we can.  Thanks for your patience and understanding.  We can’t wait to celebrate the completion of this project with you and to put our new space to use in service to God and His people.

Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. Adam Maus
