New church taking shape at St. Mary, Fontana

St. Mary parish in Fontana is progressing nicely in the construction of a new church that will meet the needs of this growing faith community. In May, exterior framing and completion of the roof took place along with landscaping and site upgrades. The new 18,000 square foot church will seat 1,200 people and allow the existing warehouse to be modified into a parish hall and 10 rooms for ministry meetings and catechism classes. In October 2022, St. Mary’s kicked off the construction process with a groundbreaking ceremony with Bishop Alberto Rojas and about 200 members of the parish community.
