*ST. MEINRAD—The welcome sign for the town of St. Meinrad reads “Population: 840.”
But during the last week of September, that number changed as thousands of people journeyed to the small southern Indiana town when ABC’s hit television show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” rolled in to work on the home of Steven and Shawna Farina of St. Meinrad. The effort brought a community together to support a family of its own.
The Farina’s home, located just two doors down from St. Meinrad Church and at the base of the hill of Saint Meinrad Archabbey, was demolished to begin the construction of a new home at the same location*.
Pretty neat!
