Misión Santa Fé Church Plant, Plum Grove, Celebrates Scholarship and Retired Carpenter

Misión Santa Fé Church Plant, Plum Grove, was initially envisioned in November 2020 during the midst of the pandemic. With 72 members and growing, it averages between 35-40 attendees each Sunday evening. Parishioners first met in homes located in a master-planned community called Santa Fé, near Cleveland. Now they gather in a community center within the community.

The community has several sections and is growing leaps and bounds. William Llana, church planter, hopes to see even more people become part of this community-based ministry.

This year the church plant had two graduates who were each awarded $500 scholarships. One of the graduates received the longstanding Vera Gang Scott scholarship. Llana is hopeful that his community is able to raise funds for scholarships in the future.

The church is appreciative of one of its oldest member's carpentry skills. The now-retired Mario Jimenez constructed the altar, cross, and lectern. Prior to Jimenez learning of the church's needs, members had prayed for help.

Kudos to the Misión Santa Fé Church Plant, Plum Grove, family for serving as yet another example of a successful church plant within the diocese.
