From Texas-On Thursday, June 5 at 7:00 p.m., the community is invited to a groundbreaking ceremony to begin the first phase of the Saint Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church campus, consisting of a chapel and office/education building. The groundbreaking will be held at the site of the new church on the west side of Lexington Street across from the ShadowGlen Golf Club (12801 Lexington Street, Manor, TX 78653). Saint Mary Magdalene has held services at Manor High School for the past four years and due to growth will move to a permanent home. Completion is expected in 7 to 9 months.
“Manor and the surrounding community reflect the growing diversity of our population today; we are thrilled that the congregation of St. Mary Magdalene is an example of this richness,” said the Rt. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle, Bishop of Texas. “As we break ground for St. Mary Magdalene and as we plant other new churches, we will continue to welcome all people to our family of faith.”
The Episcopal Diocese of Texas plans to establish 15 new churches in the next five years throughout 57 counties in central and eastern Texas. Plans for the extended campus reflect the Church’s commitment to a faith community and serving the social and health needs of the Manor area.
