When the building of a new church begins, it is desirable to celebrate a rite by which God’s blessing may be implored on the work to be undertaken and the faithful may be reminded that the structure to be built of stones will be a visible sign of the living Church, God’s building, which they themselves constitute. In accordance with liturgical custom, this rite consists of the blessing of the site of the new church and the blessing and the laying of the foundation stone.
