New Church Construction	From Ashes to Living Stones - Rebuilding Video
On July 1, 2012 our parish lost our church building due to an accidental fire ignited by fireworks early in the morning. As we continue to cope with that tragedy, we are also beginning an exciting new journey of building a new church. Nov. 26, 2013: PLEASE CHECK BACK. OUR WEB CAM WAS DAMAGED. WE ARE HOPING TO REPLACE IT SOON! Share our excitement, see live construction progress on our web cam! If you have difficulty viewing please download Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox Browser Plugin. If you continue to have difficulty connecting please inform our Live Stream Administrator.	UPDATE OF CONSTRUCTION THROUGH NOVEMBER 26, 2013. You can read about the fire and related news here, but on this page we will highlight the construction and fundraising process. We hope to celebrate in our new church by May of 2013!
New Church Images and Renderings	Fundraising Efforts
The St. Mary Magdalen Building Council has worked with architects and designers to create images and renderings of what the new church will look like. On Feb. 23, we updated our gallery with a new version of the images here! The previous renderings can still be viewed here. We have also compiled a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the new church and the building process. Please click here to view the list in English, and here for Vietnamese.	As of February 12, 2013, we have begun officially asking for donations to support our rebuilding efforts. Check back often to see our progress as we climb toward our goal of building our new church - hopefully debt free!! At the right, you can watch the thermometer climb upward as we receive pledges and donations from parishioners and the community. If you would like to contribute electronically to our Resurrection Fund, we accept donations online here.
