Over the years, a Family Center was built (in which Masses were conducted in the gymnasium) as well as a Catholic school. However, it wasn't until this past Sunday that we had a proper home. Please enjoy the following photographs, taken before and after our Dedication Mass.

I have always loved Catholic churches and their artwork, your new "home" is gorgeous!
Thanks for posting pictures of the completed church. I have been following the construction progress on the church website since we moved. It was nice to see the new church and some old friends in the background.
