I just received word from
Kevin Keenan, the spokesman for the Diocese of Buffalo, that they have amended their
previous press release regarding the Vatican’s decree for St.
Ann’s Church.
The revision states, “Demolition
has never been our driving force or our goal, which is to preserve the space by
development for other than religious purposes. A successful appeal of the
decree would allow the diocese to pursue its priority for St. Ann: to find a
suitable buyer for the church, with the goal of stabilizing the structure and
ensuring that it is a community asset. The diocese remains in conversation with
Preservation Buffalo Niagara regarding possible future uses for the entire St.
Ann complex, which includes the church, former school and convent.”
Be sure to stay updated as current events continue to unfold about this incredible church.
