What a cool building!
Weekends at Paper Cuts are held in what was previously St. Joseph's Catholic church in Fertile. When the building came up for sale in 2017, April and Aaron Swenby had plans for the space, and with preservation their main goal, they began to make it a useful space for others and their families. You see, to the Swenby's, St. Joseph's wasn't just a building. It was where their children were baptized and received their sacraments, where Aaron and April grew as a couple, and the most precious memory of all, this building held a funeral for their son who passed as an infant. Because this building had been their home for their faith life, they wanted to repurpose it and keep it a home to share with others. Paper Cuts is just that! This is a home to share with everyone, to create new memories and to preserve the past.
