*****Great read gives you something to think about. And life goes on. Thanks for sharing.
Neat way to approach a story. As I read this, I thought that this was a similar story from an old decommissioned Catholic church that is now a thriving brewery and public house. St. Joseph Brewery and Public House in Indianapolis. They list the long history of the church on their website. Great job.
What a clever idea, to view a community's history through the "eyes" of its church. And very well written as a bonus. You thoroughly deserve five stars---congratulations.
