Reply to comment by Renaiconna in Five houses targeted for demolition in Mount Vernon historic district by Rubysdad1975

Which raises the question of why they would accept or hold onto properties if they do not have the means of repairing them?

If anything selling those properties would make available more funds that could be used to maintain their building and to assist others as they have been doing.

Please forgive me if I have said anything wrong.

Quoting myself from another reply: >It was a donation from a parishioner, along with the second parking lot across from MedChi. There were initially hopes to be able to use the buildings for something, but the money wasn’t there and really hasn’t been there to be able to do anything substantial with them.

As for why accept… the church is not in the habit of turning down donations. They wouldn’t be able to survive if they were.
