The Bells Will Ring Again is the key message behind St. Jean Baptiste Parish’s fundraising efforts to rebuild their church, destroyed by fire June 30, 2021.
The Parish’s Building Committee is hard at work and says lots of great things are happening.
They are reaching out to parishioners and the community for feedback for the new building of St Jean Baptiste Parish.
The survey, which can be found through www.sjbp.ca starting the evening of Dec. 17, has a deadline of Jan. 7, 2022. Those who do not have online availability can pick up hard copies at mass, the rectory or Bumper to Bumper. Drop off of hard copies can be placed in the offering basket or in the rectory mailbox.

I am thinking the church was insured… or did it have insurance?
The church was insured but not enough to cover the amount to build the new church.
