With the scoop of shovels, ground was broken on July 4 for a new church at Sacred Heart Parish in Ida Grove.
For parishioner David Forbes, lay director, the groundbreaking ceremony served as a visible sign that the long awaited project was becoming a reality.
“It was great – a little rainy but rain in July is always welcome by the farmers,” he said. “It was a sign that the project was moving forward and I think the rain was God’s sign that he was showering his blessings on us.”
According to the pastor, Father David Hemann, the $3 million project includes both a church and parish hall. He pointed out that discussion began about building a new church in Ida Grove years ago. Father Hemann recalled how in 2001 Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo, who was then bishop of Sioux City, spoke to him about his next assignment.
