MOUNT HOLLY — Construction continues to progress on the new chapel at St. Joseph College Seminary in Mount Holly. In mid-November workers were completing the steel framing and beginning construction on the bell tower, and wooden trusses for the interior ceiling arrived.
Father Matthew Kauth, seminary rector, visits the building site frequently and said masonry work on the chapel will hopefully begin in January.
“We’re not just on schedule but we’re on budget – we’re very grateful to God for that,” Father Kauth joked.
The $24 million project includes $20.7 million for construction, related site work and furnishings, $2 million for the endowment and $1.7 million for debt elimination.
