My guess is they want to demolish the Church along with the rectory and meeting hall to build senior housing. Which in and of itself may be a needed service, but with the abundance of vacant lots in the City it would seem a creative land swap might satisfy the space need.

After the flood of 2005 the Archdiocese seemed to get out of the business of serving communities and “entered the housing market.”:http://www.providencecommunityhousing.org/index.html
Many of us who live work or attend one of the many Churches which dot the City has been worried about what may happen to these significant buildings. I know when I purchased my home it was, in part because of the church which is located across the street from me.

Riding out to see this property today I was thinking about what kind of reaction there would be in my neighborhood if they proposed to tear down my neighborhood church.

It is time for the Archdiocese to come out and talk about the plans for the future and the future of it’s assets.
