Why We're Building
Our (formerly) small parish in Chico, CA has experienced significant growth since 2020. This is a similar story that we hear from many parishes across the nation. Although this growth is welcomed and provides us many reasons to glorify God, it also presents a challenge: How do we accommodate all these new members?
With about 150 adults and children, we have outgrown our current space, which is a converted garage on 1/2 an acre and only 900 square feet!
