Wrecking Ball Poised
HELP #SAVETHESHRINE
A beloved landmark 1923 Catholic church in a distressed
neighborhood next to the University of Chicago has been slated for the wrecking
ball.
After a devastating fire destroyed the new roof of the Shrine of
Christ the King in October 2015, a broad 'Coalition to
Save the Shrine' -- parishioners, preservationists and neighborhood people
together -- raised enough money (more than $600K) to stabilize this church,
where the Institute of Christ the King offers the traditional Latin Mass every
day.
But the Archdiocese has just received approval for
their demolition order, "without delay."
Time is of the
essence.
