It was announced this morning that the Halka family is making available to St. Joseph's Church some land directly across Stillhouse Road.

Fr. Mike said the space will be used for a parish center, to accommodate the ever-expanding religious education program. It's a major undertaking, especially coming just ten years after the construction of the larger sanctuary - already too small - and the rectory.

Let's hope that the right people in the church and the community step forward to participate in this expansion.
