    “I felt like soaking my hand in ice,” quipped Msgr. William J. King, Diocesan Vicar General, after signing numerous documents to complete the financing details for construction of the new Bishop McDevitt High School in Lower Paxton Township.
    Diocesan and bank officials, as well as legal counsel for all parties involved, gathered at the Cardinal Keeler Center in Harrisburg Dec. 22 to conclude negotiations and sign settlement documents. Financing is now in place for the project of more than $40 million to begin, which could be as early as this spring.
    “This is a significant milestone in the plans for a new campus for Bishop McDevitt High School,” said Msgr. King.
    Immaculate Heart of Mary Sister Mary Anne Bednar, the high school’s principal, remarked that “This is a major step forward and a renewed promise to build the best facilities we can for new generations of students.”
