There will be more on this blog and on our OLR Facebook page, as well as running updates on our parish webpage dedicated to the new church. On the parish page you'll find articles I've written on sacred architecture, a link to ParishPay to make a donation, and as the project develops, more information on the church, the theory behind it and what we are hoping to accomplish.
What I would ask you to do, if you are a reader, is to help give this project the public awareness that we need. After all the moaning and groaning about how modern Catholic Churches are 'ugly as sin'. Here we have a chance to 'do something beautiful for God.'
Help us spread the news. Link to our webpage. Talk this up in your blogs and chat rooms. Discuss it among your friends, copy and paste the images and send them to others. If you can--go to the parish website and make a donation!
Congratulations Fr. Longenecker, what a beautiful design, both internally and externally. Will the budget break the bank? Our church is also in the process of minor renovation and I am transferring the tabernacle behind the main altar (from the side wall).
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it finished.
Fr Gary. The price tag is $4m--not too bad.
