Notes from the Campaign Trail

By Mary Hernandez



Fr. Broussard and I are standing in front of the prep work for the foundation slab and grade beam prep work located on the northwest corner of the property, for what will be the Café. The slab will be poured on top of the drill shafts that were completed last month. The front doors to the cafe will face E. St. Mary Blvd and be nestled in the shade of the stately Century Oak trees.

And…we have an elevator pit! The elevator will take students and guests to the second floor, which will house three amazing Bible Study Rooms - a grand improvement over the single “Upper Room,” currently shared by the entire ministry and over 55 small groups. Our beautiful Grand Hall, which will hold large lectures, conferences, and receptions of all kinds, is also on the second floor. Commemorative Dedication Opportunities are still available for the Grand Hall and Bible Study Rooms. Click the link to learn more.
