From Colorado-Feb. 1 is a special day for St. Brigit Episcopal Church in Frederick.
It's the feast day of St. Brigit, the church's eponym. Four years ago, the date marked the congregation's first Sunday morning service. And this Friday, it will mark the consecration of the church's new 2,500-square-foot sanctuary.
"We really hope to extend the space to the community," said the Rev. Felicia SmithGraybeal, pastor of the church.
The church broke ground in late July on the 150-seat sanctuary. By Dec. 16, the congregation was meeting for services in the new building, which replaces the former sanctuary, a 1,000-square-foot, remodeled four-car garage.
"It's amazing. It's really wonderful. It's so warm. That garage, we did our best, but it was chilly," said parishioner Lisa Caile, who sits on the church's building committee and, because she runs a small repair business, has completed much of the work on the church.
The former sanctuary will be turned into two classrooms and bathrooms and will connect to the new sanctuary via a breezeway.
