"Maintain the Spiritual Beauty" - New Seminary Project.
www.newseminaryproject.org - A NewSeminary Project makes progress in Virginia. A massive building designed to house and support over 100 seminarians stands tall along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although unforeseen challenges continually wage against the progress of this endeavor, the generosity of those faithful to the Church's Tradition have been vital to progress.

It’s a once in a lifetime thing to be on this project and to be able to have a hand in building.
It has always been a very, very massive project to house close to over 100 Seminarians, that’s a very, very big project.
The unforeseen challenges, I think, would be trying to maintain the spiritual beauty of the building, while coming to the reality that the budget is a very limited source of income.
Most of the expense in modern architecture is not the actual materials, it’s the labor costs.
And a lot of times things that are unforeseen conditions come to the fore and then you have to deal with them. It is in a certain sense the challenge because, you know, you can’t build something without money - but we also have the faith and so we certainly pray that benefactors that will be generous and realize the necessity of such an important project.
The necessity of the building is defined by the spiritual benefits that we will reap from the building. And those spiritual benefits are essentially God’s grace.
The project in itself is extremely interesting, extremely noble; it’s God’s will. And when God wants something, He gets it done; and He gets it done by the means He chooses.
First pray because it’s not just stones that we put one on another, this building has a spiritual meaning and so prayer is needed just for the completion, and also for the material side of it. Then, of course, generosity.
If the faithful were not so generous, I would say it would become not only a challenge, it would mean no end or no start, but we certainly do count on this generosity of the faithful and they are generous. So in that sense, it’s not a challenge, though certainly as large as is, it is a costly building and, once again, it shows that to start such a thing how generous the faithful are.

It seems like GOD'S telling us, the church NEEDS a NEW ORDER of priests and nuns to build and maintain the church's buildings. It would greatly reduce costs and make expansion into poorer areas of the world a lot easier and more productive. Poorer areas of the world would also have few if any government regulations to slow the building process (like local permits ...).

The team could work in upgrades and maintenance at other facilities once the government red tape is completed and approved.
