Buildings rising Legacy of faith projects underway

As the Diocese of Corpus Christi and its parishes continue to receive contributions from the Legacy of Faith~Future of Hope capital campaign, projects funded by the effort are going up throughout the diocese.

In Kingsville construction is lagging a little behind schedule on the Newman Center dorms and Catholic Student Center, but John Bynum, Superintendent wit KWA Construction, said they would be ready for the beginning of school in the fall.

Over on Saratoga and Kostoryz in Corpus Christi, construction activity is buzzing on the St. John Vianney Home for Priests. Hernan Perez, Construction Superintendent with CLK Architects & Associates said the project would be ready for move in October of this year.

The diocese, meanwhile, has contracted Dave Wyrwich as its new Legacy of Faith~Future of Hope Development Specialist for the Office of Parish Stewardship and Development. He will be the liaison between the diocese and parishes and will assist pastors with making sure that pledges result in contributions.

Wyrwich is a member of the Corpus Christi Cathedral Parish where he serves as financial secretary and the Knights of Columbus.
