The OLV Corporate Board: Little known fact #1

The board that voted to demolish the church in October of 2007 was not the board in place at the time that the church was locked on February 26, 2007.
February 2007: Cardinal Egan, Archdiocesan Vicar General, Father Eugene Sawicki and lay trustees Gertrude (Joy) McAleer and Joe Pantuliano.
May 2007 (we learned this in Shirley Werner Kornreich's courtroom): Cardinal Egan, Archdiocesan Vicar General, Msgr. Thomas Gilleece, Claire Libonati and Thomas Libonati.
October 2007: Cardinal Egan, Archdiocesan Vicar General, Msgr. Thomas Gilleece, Claire Libonati and Rose Nunziato.

UPDATE - 2/16/2014

Former Our Lady of Vilnius parishioner and trustee passed away on January 25, 2012.  Her obituary notes that  "She was a secretary with the Archdiocese of New York, more specifically the secretary to His Eminence John Cardinal O'Connor for many years." In terms of her parish affiliation, the obituary refers to Ms. Libonati as a communicant of St. Anthony of Padua.  The obit does not mention Our Lady of Vilnius parish.
