This is not a new occurance. It happened with St. Stanislaus when whatever church took it over. They starting selling the ornamentation. Trouble was, St. Stan's is on the National Register of Historic Places so it was illegal.

I'm pretty sure St. Dominic's is not on the registry, so there is probably nothing that can be done. Some preacher is likely going to sell off anything of value in that church and then when his church closes up there will be nothing left of value in the building.

Hey, I guess its his place now, but can't say I agree with such priorities.

Here is the webpage of the new owners:

Career opportunities from Pastor Carey? I'm good on that!

It is really important to support the beautiful churches in the city, if that's your bag. Imagine if St. Florian or Sweetest Heart of Mary or St. John's Episcopal or Historic Trinity Lutheran were scrapped in such a way.

I still maintain that if I did happen to live in the suburbs I would make a point to attend and make my donations to city churches. Can't duplicate that stuff.
