On June 6^th the Building Committee and representatives from the Chancery unanimously approved moving forward with construction of an addition at Our Lady of the Angels Church in South Berwick. It will include a Hall for gathering and functions, Classrooms, and a Chapel. Total costs are approximately $1,086,000.

The cost will be covered by a combination of Capital Campaign proceeds, savings, and adding onto the existing loan. The land was purchased and the Church built in 2008 after St. Michaels in South Berwick and Our Lady of Peace in Berwick merged.
 
Additional Capital Campaign Pledges are welcome to help reduce financing needs.
