On July 7, 1985, the first Mass was celebrated in the original Precious Blood Church, a 1200 square foot, four-car garage located on the current property when it was purchased by the diocese. In June 1988 Father Francis J. Travis became the first full-time Pastor at Precious Blood. Plans to expand the worship space were formulated during this period. The expansion of the four-car garage to a larger worship space, a 2600 square foot addition seating 240 was completed in November 1992. It is currently utilized for parish-wide activities, breakfasts, dinner-dances, etc. Our new Parish Life Center includes multi-purpose facility to accommodate the fellowship needs of our parish. It seats 450-banquet style. The current Founders Hall continues to function and serve smaller functions.
