The accessibility project at Visitation Church in Stacyville is nearly complete. The addition includes a new entry, elevator and handicapped-accessible restrooms. The official groundbreaking took place on Sunday , August 16, with Father John Moser and Visitation Pastoral Council Chair Jim Kramer wielding the shovels.

On Wednesday, March 17, Archbishop Jerome Hanus will dedicate and bless the new addition. The community and friends are invited to an Open House on Saturday, March 20, with Mass at 5:15 pm, followed by tours and refreshments.

Fundraising efforts continue, toward the goal of close to $400,000. Please help with your tax-deductible contribution, in your name or the name of a loved one. See below for a donation form, and send in your support today.
