Indiana Landmarks says sixteen congregations around the state including two in the Region have received grants from its Sacred Places Indiana Fund to address significant capital needs at their historic houses of worship. In Whiting, St. Mary Byzantine Catholic Church will get a $100,000 capital grant to install accessible restrooms to support social ministries at the 1920 church. Holy Family Parish LaPorte was selected to receive a $90,000 capital grant for restoration of a rose window at the 1930 St. Peter’s Catholic Church.
“By offering this critical funding, we hope to help congregations and parishes continue to thrive as spiritual centers and use their landmark buildings in ways that support and serve their communities,” says David Frederick, director of Indiana Landmarks’ Sacred Places Indiana Program.
