We Mourn the Commodification of Our Lady of Vilnius by The Archdiocese of New York

• September 13, 2013 - Hudson Square flip: Barnett’s Extell wants $20M for church site
• Massey Knakal listing for church property - "568 Broome Street offers the buyer an opportunity to develop an iconic structure in the heart of the newly rezoned Hudson Square area."
• Massey Knakal's 21 page color sales brochure for Our Lady of Vilnius: "568 Broome - HUDSON SQUARE DEVELOPMENT SITE FOR SALE
• Douglas Elliman listing for sale of the Our Lady of Vilnius Rectory - " Bring your architect to discuss the endless possibilities to create your dream home."

Tomorrow at noon, when we would normally have gone through the small red door at the right and down the steep steps to the church hall for Mass, let us unite in prayer of gratitude for having lived Our Lady of Vilnius, for having gotten to know each other and for having received spiritual gifts which will last our lifetime and beyond. Let us pray for and to our departed for their intercession in preserving the spirit of our parish within the Roman Catholic Church. Let us pray that against all odds our church will stand as a symbol of God's goodness in this material world.
