Many folks may not be aware that the church owns a small parcel of land on the northeast side of the building, toward the far end of the driveway, which was generously purchased and donated by the Benards years ago with the intention of possibly adding on to the church building at some point in the future. In the meantime, the area has become very overgrown and is desperately in need of a major cleanup.
