A Christmastide Cherish the Flame Update

Are we really in the Christmas season already?? 2022 has flown by, and we already find ourselves starting the fourth year of our Cherish the Flame fundraising and building project. Despite all the obstacles posed by the pandemic, inflation, supply-chain issues, and more, the Lord has continued to bless this endeavor in marvelous ways. Our fundraising is nearly complete — less than $400,000 to go! What’s more, construction work is now a daily sight from our cloister windows. The copper walkway roof was completed last week, and the masonry crew has been hard at work on the bricklaying.

As a little Christmas treat, enjoy some of the latest images from the building of our cloister walkway!

In late November, Kyle Cook (Helming Bros roofing crew) offered a “roof tour” to some of our more intrepid Sisters

Mother John Mary and Sr. Maria Faustina both agree: that’s one shiny roof!

The Boarman Bros masonry crew is making short work of those walkway pillars!

That wooden frame will support a brick archway while the mortar dries and hardens

The first archway, completed shortly before Christmas!
