Now it begins.

For over three years we have been preparing to build a new residence and meeting space adjacent to the church. After designs and redesigns, public hearings and more public hearings, bid processes and rebids, financing and refinancing, accountants, finance offices, insurance agents and lawyers, everything is in place. We have contracted with Norback Builders of Cheshire to construct the building. In place of a ground-breaking ceremony we will have a “ground-blessing” ceremony. A representative group of children of the parish will pray for the blessings of the Spirit upon the new construction and for the safety of those who will be doing the work. Perhaps one day one of the children will live in the new residence as pastor of the parish. I keep hoping for a few vocations from this parish: priests, deacons, religious sisters or brothers, and lay ministers.
