Following years of successful planning and local fundraising by the vestry and leaders at St. Matthew’s in Puvirnituq, Quebec, the Executive Commitee of the Diocese has granted approval for construction to begin on a new church building in the community. The existing church was no longer meeting the needs of the congregation. In the application to the Diocese, Aipilie Kenuayuak wrote “presently there is no heating, both furnaces are not working!”, yet “we have a very dedicated congregation whose spiritual side needs continual feeding on the Word of God”. “The new church will have a capacity of 208” says Maxime Héroux, the Montreal-based project manager who worked on the $3.85-million project. Thanks be to God, this community-changing project will be completed without the need for loans or mortgages. The Lord will provide all we need if we are faithfully doing the work He has given us to do! Any community planning construction is reminded to contact the Synod Office for help, advice, and approval as soon as early as possible in the project.
