Guerin Catholic High School broke ground on a new Fine Arts and Wellness Center on Wednesday. Rain didn’t stop the ceremony, as organizers decided to move the dirt inside.

Both Bishops were on hand for the groundbreaking – current Bishop Timothy L. Doherty and Guerin Catholic’s founding Bishop Emeritus William L. Higi, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday.

The 61,000 square-foot addition to the school will include a 500-seat auditorium and a two-court athletic fieldhouse. Other features include locker rooms for outdoor sports, a new weight room, fine arts offices, and classroom space. The project will complete the original master plan for the campus.
