The tidy little historic Catholic Church on the corner of Bevans and Canal Streets is looking festive for the Christmas holidays. Menard’s Sacred Heart Catholic Church is currently in the organizing and fundraising stages to ultimately properly renovate the building, which is currently not in daily use. The Menard News will keep you updated as the church improvement progresses. TMN photo.
