A building Construction Committee is appointed and begins interviewing architects. The Committee selects the firm of Peter C. Pivko Architects to design our church building. November 1990 Bernard Benoit is hired as our building project coordinator. On April 28 Bishop William Huras and Pastor Joanna Malina consecrate the building site and participate in a sod turning ceremony to signal the start of the project. It is not quite seven years now since the initial spiritual seeds were planted.
Excavations begin in preparation for the laying of the physical foundation.
On August 2nd, the long anticipated building permit is issued and construction can now begin. Bill Mcfarland leads a crew of volunteers who labour hard to close in the building before the snow comes. Work continues in the unheated church throughout the winter months. Prayers of support and hot meals are supplied by the women of the congregation and keep the volunteers spirits high. Jaak Vanker suffers a heart attack while installing drywall.
