This article is a beautiful tribute to all the Irish immigrants that helped build this historical church. I know that they were guided by the Holy Spirit when they left their beautiful country in the hopes of finding food for their bodies and their spirits. And now the archiocese has closed down this beautiful Church, which is a real symbol of Faith, because the parishioner's contribution did not meet the archdiocese's expectations. I hope that they realize that SAVING money could mean LOSING MANY OF THEIR FLOCK!
