The end of Lent, yes … but also the end of our building and renovation project!!

At long last, we are approaching the completion of this five-and-a-half year saga known as Cherish the Flame. It has been challenging and rewarding, a wild ride and an adventure with the Lord. When He first inspired us to undertake this new construction and renovation, we could never have imagined where it would all lead!

Fundraising is nearly complete now (see the thermometer at right), and the last of our four project phases is moving right along. And as we see the finish line not too far off, we are filled with profound gratitude to God, to good St. Joseph, and to each and every one of YOU who have made this project possible through your spiritual and material support.

Head on over to our Building Campaign page to read more about the final fundraising goal - and check out the latest progress photos below!
