Paving the path to a new home

Thanks to successful fundraising through the Diocese of Owensboro’s Faithful Foundations Campaign for the construction of new senior priest retirement apartments, work is moving forward on the future site of the facility.
Because demolition of the current building (the old Bishop Cotton Apartments) cannot start until the path to the site is properly completed according to required specifications, construction crews recently began working on a new road toward the site.
Crews began working on the road on Nov. 10 and as of press day, Nov. 19, the road’s construction had been completed and the demolition process was beginning.
