| During the summer of 1983, Fr. Donard spearheaded a successful building fund campaign. With the reserve built up by Fr. Donulus, the construction of the new church became a reality. On August 5, 1984 ground was broken for the new church on the site of the former Reister home. A month later the parish celebrated its 25th anniversary with mass, parish reception and dinner-dance. |

October 5, 1985 marked the culmination of the parish's goal. The first mass was celebrated in the new church. Twenty-six years of effort had seen the growth of the parish from several old buildings on a large, mostly undeveloped lot, to the raising of a new beautiful church to glorify God. In early May of 1986, Bishop Anthony M. Pilla dedicated the new church. |
