The photos below are not mine. They were taken from the video presentation that was shown to us (the parishioners) last Sunday.

It is almost done, but it won't make it for the Christmas Masses as we originally hoped for.

Yes, this is our future church!

We continue to raise funds. Every little thing, we turn it into a fundraiser.
And we know that the fundraising activities won't end when the church is built but will continue until we pay off our loans.

If you notice, our church building is the way traditional Catholic churches are built... it faces the east. And the floor plan follows a cruciform design. The building is in the form of a cross.

Many Catholic churches are traditionally oriented to face east, symbolizing the direction of Christ's return, but not all churches strictly adhere to this practice.
Historical Context
The tradition of orienting churches towards the east has deep historical and symbolic roots in Christianity. This practice dates back to early Christian communities, where the east was associated with the resurrection of Christ and the anticipated Second Coming. The Gospel of Matthew states, "For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man" (Matthew 24:27), reinforcing the significance of this orientation.
While many Catholic churches are indeed oriented towards the east, reflecting a long-standing tradition rooted in Christian symbolism, there are exceptions. The focus on convenience and location often takes precedence over strict adherence to this architectural norm in contemporary church design.

Do you think our church will be ready for the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day Masses?
