What does it look like financially for us to buy this now?  The downpayment will take out a hunk of our savings, and then the monthly costs will make it a little tighter once Fr Joshua goes full time (1/1/2021).   So doable but not with a huge buffer.  As far as building anything after that, we’re no where near that yet.  That’s the part where we wait for a few small miracles.

Using our current 2020 income and expenses, Wendy/Mary Cline say we’d be able to pay me and make the payments and still have some to spare.  See the other article on “short term costs of new property and hall” for more on what those expenses would look like.  Of course our income and expenses vary wildly, so who knows?   But seeing that this is at all possible is a good sign that most of us have stepped up and started to tithe more generously and regularly!
