BELVIDERE (WREX) -
St. James Catholic Church of Belvidere is getting bigger.
Church leaders, staff, parishioners, and students gathered Monday to break ground on a new addition. An extended auditorium is being added to allow the church to seat 850 parishioners. Bishop David J. Malloy was on hand to bless the new project.
"A parished church is so much a place that it brings people together. It's a part of life, it's a part of our faith," Bishop Malloy said. "And for a community like Belvidere, it's a part of the history of the culture of the community itself."
The addition is expected to be completed by Thanksgiving.
