Every parishioner 14 years and older is asked to take a good look at the designs and select the one that best meets your expectations. Your comments are encouraged, too.

"In the eyes of our children..."

At the parish carnival on Friday, June 12th, children were invited to draw a picture of how they envision the new church. Over 70 children participated in this event, some as young as three years. They have shared with us their ideas, their hopes, their faith, and their love. Their artwork is on display in the church hall. Take some time to enjoy the show, and be inspired!

These children will be the parishioners who will cherish the church we are planning to build in much the same way as we cherish our church now.
