CATHOLIC CHARITIES PLANS SERVICE CENTER
 On May 22, children from St. Anne’s wearing hard hats and carrying toy tools represented the beginning of “Swinging the Sledgehammer,” the Open House celebrating the renovation of Catholic Charities Spokane’s new building at 12 E. 5th Avenue. The building that was once the Cowley office building, purchased by Sacred Heart Medical Center and located across the street from St. Anne’s Children and Family Center, will be called the Catholic Charities Spokane Family Services Center. It will house 11 of Catholic Charities’ programs, reducing the need for office leases throughout the city and providing “one-stop shopping” for our clients. Executive Director Rob McCann welcomed guests, and Bishop Skylstad blessed the site. Renderings by architect Ann Martin were presented to guests. Catholic Charities Program Directors and administrative staff gave tours of the building, describing how the remodeling will proceed. Thus opens a new chapter in the long and estimable history of Catholic Charities.
