Groundbreakings were significant events. The entire parish witnessed the start of the first expansion, the Scott Avenue wing, in 1952 (left); the Rev. Donald Grindy, Dr. Donald B. Sanford, Senior Warden, watch Mrs. L. W. Singer, Chairman of the Building Committee, turn the spadeful of earth which launched the enlargement of the nave and construction of the Fast Wing in 1957.
