WE still use it for funerals of the old who desire to have their funeral mass out of there. The second one is opened only for two hours a week (another historical church) for A Sunday mass. The third (most modern- ugly) is in the process of being sold. The old school was sold to the University. <BR/>With the money made- a fourth church is being built- that has loads of stuff from the two old churches....<BR/>Still- it has been over 10 years and the bitter feeling continues. And that new combined parish sends more men to seminary than the other parishes in the rich valley- which is 20 times larger!Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054888725603183006noreply@blogger.com
