Light Up The Night

About the Illuminate 68 Project:

The Illuminate 68 Project seeks to breathe new life into the South End by transforming the former St. Anthony’s Church into a central hub for community engagement. This space will offer youth, families, and adults a place to gather, create, and grow. Planned renovations include installing fully functioning windows, upgrading ventilation systems, enhancing heating capacity, improving disability access, and modernizing facilities to ensure the space meets the diverse needs of our community.
