Clarification and update In the Nov. 23 story “St. Matthew Church plans to expand with Waxhaw campus,” the timetable for developing a satellite campus in Waxhaw was not completely described. The first phase of the project will be completed in three to five years, according to Monsignor John McSweeney, pastor. All stages will be completed within 10 years, he said. St. Matthew Church plans to buy 33.67 acres at the corner of Waxhaw-Marvin Road and Kensington Drive for a “St. Matthew South.” Monsignor McSweeney adds in a Dec. 18 update that church leaders will be meeting with parishioners and neighbors of the area around the property after finalizing the contract to buy the land. After the land deal is finalized, a land-use planner will present different options for developing the property, he said. “We want to tie in as many dreams as we can,” he said. — Catholic News Herald
