After celebrating our parish anniversary Mass with us (Feast of the Assumption), Bishop Popp gives his blessing to the Church expansion project.  He encouraged everyone to pray for their parents and grandparents who worked hard to preserve our Catholic culture through the generations. With golden shovels, Bishop Popp digs the first hole, followed by Fr. Phillips.  The location where they are standing is the future location of the new Baptistry. The Atonement Academy Principal, Stephen Hollingshead and the Archdiocese Superintendent, Dale Hoyt take part in the ceremony.  Earlier, Mr. Hoyt spoke of how Catholic educators should look to 1st-Century Christians (who affected great change in their culture) as models for providing Catholic education to the young. A representative from the student body takes part as well.
