Groundbreaking at St. Ann's set for Sunday

July 19, 2017

St. Ann’s Catholic Church will be holding a groundbreaking ceremony at 11 a.m. Sunday, July 23, at 6712 El Paso Street, Bonners Ferry, the location of their former church. Mass will be held at 10 a.m., prior to the groundbreaking. All are invited to attend. Following the ceremony will be a picnic, provided free of charge to all attending. St Ann’s Catholic Church was destroyed by an arson fire on April 21, 2016. The parishioners of St. Ann’s, 150 families strong, have been meeting and worshiping in a temporary building located on the property. It is with great excitement that they begin the rebuild. Church committees have worked hard to come up with a building plan that is suitable for their needs, while meeting parishioner and Diocese approval. They expect their new building to be as beautiful and as welcoming as their previous building, and look forward to celebrating this joyous event with the community.
