St.

Joseph Catholic Church in Kennewick completed its new parish office and

Sedlacek Reception Center this month.

The

three-story, 16,000-square-foot new addition to the parish property at 520 S.

Garfield St. will help to accommodate the church’s ongoing growth by providing

new office space for parish clergy and staff, as well as additional gathering

space.

The

main floor of the new building houses an entry foyer, waiting and reception

area, six offices, a religious education classroom, conference room,

workroom/break room, records room, guest amenities, storage room, utility room

and server room.

The

upper floor features a large meeting room that can be divided with a partition

into two multiuse rooms, as well as a warming kitchen, two storage rooms and

janitor’s closet. The third floor consists of the basement, which will provide

additional storage space for the church.
