THe End of an era
The Old Marian House comes Down
Thursday, August 21st, at 7:15 am, demolition on the old Marian House soup kitchen began. It occurred with little fanfare, much like the work that has occurred in this building for the past 24 years. Quietly, or as quiet as a trackhoe can be when pulling down tons of wood and brick, the destruction of a building full of memories and accomplishments fell to the ground.
The programs offered for years in the old Marian House have been moved to trailers on the property until the New Marian Self Sufficiency Center is built. The new building, scheduled to open in February 2009, will house all the programs of Marian House: Community Outreach, Client Services and the Life Support Center. It will also be home to S.E.T of Colorado Springs, which was located in a small building on the property for years, but was temporarily relocated to another facility during construction. There will also be space for other social services providers who offer services to many of the guests of Marian House, such as Partners In Housing, the VA, Social Security, etc.
Construction of the New Marian House Self Sufficiency Center will begin as soon as the property is cleared. If you would like to learn more about the Marian House and its programs, click here. If you would like to become involved in the capital campaign for The New Marian House, click here.
