In the coming years, your trip down Main Street could soon have a different look as you approach St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Luxemburg. The parish is approaching its second round of fundraising for its $1.4 million capital project that will build an addition onto the school and replace its current rectory/pastor residence with a new building. The current rectory/pastor residence dates back to 1906, built without some of the creature comforts it has now such as indoor plumbing. Father Dan Schuster says they are building joy with the project as they look to expand their ministry in the community.

Schuster says they are currently converting their dreams “into brass tacks” by raising the additional funding, creating the drawings so the parish can start the bidding process, and  get the necessary approvals from the village and state. If everything goes to plan, he hopes shovels can get into the ground sometime after Easter.
