Nearly $1 million expansion under way at St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church

From Florida-

A $905,000 expansion project at St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church on 43rd Avenue is under way.

The building project includes a new, 3,800-square-foot parish hall and a 1,150-square-foot extension on the south side of the church sanctuary. It is slated for completion in April.

According to Rector Michael Goldberg, the project has been in the planning stages for more two years, and is designed to accommodate the needs of the growing parish.

"We want to continue to attract young families and not look like we're cramped for space," said Goldberg. "Our parish is growing and we need to provide for more pews and another 100 seats."

Other improvements included in the renovation are the expansion on the north side of the building to create a large meeting room, library and media center; installation of a new kitchen to facilitate parish dinners and social events; and modifications to interior office space. The area for the choir will also be expanded to accommodate the growing music program of the church, Goldberg said.
