Hogsett probably has no clue where this neighborhood even is. Maybe if they hosted a dance party or an open bar he would show up.
Mayor Do-Nothing doing what he does best.
Wow that’s disappointing . The Archdiocese demolished St Cathrine Church back in the early 90’s (in the middle of the night on a Saturday I might add). The Church, the School, everything gone overnight. It was an anchor institution in the neighborhood. It was replaced with a tanning salon, a video store and a CVS. It had a DEVASTATING impact on the Garfield Park Neighborhood which still hasn’t fully recovered.
As an active Catholic I feel okay being critical of the Church on this one. Like St Cathrine, Holy Cross has been the core (and namesake) of the neighborhood for more than a century. In that time they have paid ZERO taxes. I do not think it’s unfair to ask the Church to support the best interests of the neighborhood who has cared for it for the last 100 years. Rather than focus on a spreadsheet, or some delusional fear that the community will use the church of “unholy” purposes, think about the people who live here when you decide to leave.
I really hope the Mayor can stand up for that.
At this point, I am convinced the archdiocese does not actually understand basic finance
They allowed the Saint Joan of arc daycare to be closed because they claimed it was losing hundreds of thousands of dollars
It was confirmed after this decision that the daycare was actually making hundreds of thousands of dollars and supporting the losses of the grade school
They were too proud or stupid to admit they were wrong, and never reopened it. It’s run by a private entity now who is likely making a lot of money.
St. Catherine and Central Catholic were also able to move to a newer building just a mile down the road with a lot more land that sure seemed to open up the combined churches for the future.
I am definitely not an apologist for the Catholic Church and I think they make hysterically foolish decisions (one reason I left) but consolidating St James and St Catherine sure made sense to me when they did it 35 years ago. And I think the installation of I-65 did more to hurt all the parishes in that area than anything else.
Joe B, I hear you. I realize that was the party line back then. But it proved to be completely wrong. It was a terrible decision – for the parishes and for the community.
The best interests of the city parishes were completely ignored. They were only concerned about the suburbs.
I agree that the path of I65 and the rural interchange design on Raymond street were major factors.
That said, haven’t we learned our lesson I. The last 30 years? Are we going to continue to make the same mistakes? really disappointing.It’s
I grew up in the neighborhood and attended Holy Cross graduating in 1954. So even though I obviously have some bias, I agree that preserving this historic building is the right thing to do. Concerns that ‘sordid’ eventual use might occur is a weak argument for obliterating this anchor of the community.
Out of the fray and into the liquor cabinet.
The truth is there is nothing substantially historic about this Church, nor is it particularly architecturally significant. IHPC would be better served using its time to designate buildings and stop the disturbing trend of emergency designation. Hopefully the loss of this inevitable lawsuit will bring them to yield.
