BUILDING GOD’S HOUSE IN OUR TIME

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE

 

In our investigation to meet the needs of our growing parish family, I asked the Lord for the blessing of the parishioners, the Archdiocese and the Upper Providence Township .  All three are critical to our decision for a new facility.  After two years of planning, fundraising, and negotiating, the Lord has blessed us with a green light to proceed to final plans for approval by the generosity of our parishioners, a loan of $3 million dollars from the Archdiocese, and the permission of the Township Zoning Board.  We still need the final plans approved by the Archdiocese, and the Upper Providence Planning Commission and Council.  I am most grateful to all who donated their time, talents, and treasure. We now call upon everyone in Building God’s House in our Time!

 

COME AND SEE: On Tuesday, February 1, 2005 at 7:30 PM in Church, the Building Committee and I invite all of you to review the architectural plans and model for our new worship facility.  We need your input as we move towards final drawings and costs.  Please come and offer your insights and expertise.  Also, we invite those who want to work with our Liturgy Committee in designing the interior of the church.  Please call the rectory, if you are interested.
