SHERMAN, Tex. -- After months in the making, the 80-foot steeple went up at Saint Anne’s Church in Sherman. The new church estimated to cost over $7 million dollars will hold 800 people.

Church leaders say they have been working on the project for over 14 years.

"I think it gives a good feeling of accomplishment when you see actual brick and mortar going together and it being put in place," former Grayson County judge and parishioner Tim McGraw said.

The church is expected to be open by Easter Sunday.
