This was the beginning of the Smartsville Church Restoration Fund, Inc., lovingly known as SCRFI, or “SCRUFFY.”

Our mission is to save and restore the former Catholic church for use as a community/visitors’ center and museum.
We believe an additional effect of our restoration efforts at SCRFI is the impact we see on the town of Smartsville. The united effort to save the historic church and public attention given to Smartsville, and community events, have given Smartsville renewed dignity. At SCRFI we do not spend any of our restoration money on events not related to our work, but we give freely of our time and energy to events that are important to the community.
