$\"exterior$ <\/a>For the last three months, off and on I have been commenting here on my blog about the beautiful new church we are planning to build in our parish of Our Lady of the Rosary in Greenville, SC<\/p>\n

To make our financials work, by the end of the year we needed to raise $650K<\/p>\n

The readers of this blog were invited to donate instantly via PayPal.<\/p>\n

I was shocked and delighted to learn that through these appeals over $11K was raised for our Building Fund.<\/p>\n

At Christmas we took special collections for the new church and brought in an amazing $50K<\/p>\n

On New Year\u2019s Eve the counters told me we were just $16K short of our target.<\/p>\n

That day the rest of the donations came in and we reached our target by 6pm on January 31.<\/p>\n

This means our financials work and we should be able to move forward to ground breaking in the late Spring or early summer.<\/p>\n

I thank you and the people of Our Lady of the Rosary parish thank you for taking part in this enterprise.<\/p>\n

As I have said, our parish is only about 520 families. The fact that they have done so well and with so little outside help is a witness to their faith, hard work and perseverence.<\/p>\n
