Our Need for a New Worship Space - For many months, a planning committee has surveyed the parish community, reviewed demographics, worked with church organizations, and consulted the Diocese to develop a facilities plan that will effectively meet the immediate and foreseeable needs of Our Lady of the Snows Parish.

What it comes down to is this: The original church, built in 1948 as a temporary structure, has deteriorated. The Human Concerns Center, one of our premier ministries, housed in this building, can benefit from a larger area to maintain and enhance all its programs. Our growth is straining our current church building, originally built fifty years ago in 1953 as an auditorium. As we celebrate the new millenium we are challenged to provide a church to accommodate our parishioners. The need is even more profound due to the declining number of priests in our diocese providing ministry in our parishes.  -continued on OLSnows page 2
