From the 'Our History' page of the parish website: *"By 1924, the steady increase in membership led to plans for a new education building to be constructed immediately behind the church. Groundbreaking was held on October 4, 1925 with excavation beginning on October 8. The cornerstone was laid on February 28, 1926. As construction progressed, plans were modified to allow the building to be used for both worship and education purposes. The dedication of Strunck Memorial Hall was held on Sunday, February 27, 1927 when 572 persons marched from the old church to the West Entrance of the new building. The old building was torn down during the summer of 1927 and the area graded and concrete sidewalks and retaining walls completed by September." *
