Do not be surprised if you get stuck behind a home driving through Luxemburg next month. The former rectory of St. Mary’s Catholic Parish in Luxemburg will begin its journey to its new place in the community beginning next week. Pastor Dan Schuster says the move will happen in phases, starting with the home being lifted off of its foundation and inching its way toward Main Street. Built in 1907, Schuster is glad that the home is not disappearing, but rather just relocated. It also marks the beginning of a new era for the church and its school, which continues to grow. He believes the additional space at the school, a dedicated office space for the parish, and a smaller, more efficient home for priests will be welcomed.

With the new and updated spaces, Schuster hopes St. Mary’s Parish continues to be a spiritual hub for the community for years to come. If you still have plenty of time to plan your commute through Luxemburg if you are looking to avoid being stuck behind a moving house. Schuster says the former rectory will likely not hit the road until June.
