Materials on order for new Kash rectory

Recently building materials were ordered for the new rectory in Kashechewan. The building was originally erected to be a store. However, due to circumstances, the original owners and builders made a decision to sell the building instead of using it as a store. Most of the building at this time is one large room. Hence there needs to be smaller rooms built in that room - the plan calls for three bedrooms, and a washroom. When entering the front porch there are two doors to choose from. One will lead into the house. The other will lead into the office.

When entering the house, the kitchen area will be to the left of the door. Proceeding straight ahead will take one to the dining area, and the living room area. On the left, past the kitchen area, will be access to the washroom and the three bedrooms.

The plans call for the office to be finished first. This can then immediately be used for small meetings and small church services, even while the house part is still being worked on.

The double-wide trailer unit which is to be renovated into the church building will be worked on later. The plan is to have a priest living in the new rectory prior to those renovations beginning. Volunteers, some months ago, tore out all of the burnt-out material in the trailer unit.

A plan for financing the project is now in place. The total of the project, for renovations to turn the would-be store into a residence, and the double-wide trailer unit into a church building, is $230,000.00. Of this figure about $140,000.00 is already in hand. There are applications for grants and loans in process for the remainder. Fundraising and donations are and will be needed to pay off the loans.
