Looking back. There were concerns, for sure. But always, faith prevailed.
I recall meetings. Finding a site. Planning the design. Setting up the budget.
Then, there was a groundbreaking. Donation drives. Volunteer efforts.
The foundation was contracted. Volunteers and parishioners: Did the framing. Hoisted the roof. Built walls. Installed wiring. Painted. Put in fixtures.
In the meantime, the brickwork was completed. Permits were secured. And inspections were passed.
But time moves on. Services, liturgies, and events continue to be held in the “new” church.
