Damage to the Building: An Impetus for Fundraising or an Excuse for Closure?

Who decides?

The Gallery of the "Parish of St. Matthew and St. Stanislaus Kostka" website contains photos depicting damage to interior spaces of either the loft or tower of St. Matthew Church. It is one of a series of photos displayed to spur contributions to the Bicentennial Appeal.

Similar photos of water damage to St. Stanislaus Kostka were displayed to parishioners in the service of impressing us with the great magnitude of damage done to our church and the heroic efforts that would be needed for its repair and restoration.
