I just don’t trust them. They had a priest at st. Barts who’s now a bishop, fleece old people for statues and more statues instead of fixing the property, which the diocese then said, oh it’s in such disrepair. But the $10,000’s in statues were ok instead. Those old people thought they were donating to something g that would comfort people for the ages, and they were just fleeced.

A separate boiler would still cost less than the “renovations” of the old building.

Why renovate the old building, when MAC is ADA, has air conditioning, and is in better shape?

Because it does t look “church-y” enough for some people.

The diocese closed St. Bart’s in Penn Hills because it needed too much repair, but on the webpage for its sale, the Diocese touts how good of condition it is all in. The tangled web of lies, where the truth is unknown. Don’t trust the Diocese PR people for the truth.

I don’t believe that is correct, and the downtown plant is closing down soon. They usually just generate heat, and most newer buildings, after the 70’s don’t use the steam plant, hence it shutting down in town. (And the damage from the last flood didn’t help)

The Catholic Church in pittsburgh should be ashamed of itself, among other things, but for keeping Epiphany, because the white people didn’t want to go up to the “black” church one block up. The official reasoning was something along the lines of, this red brick church will remind people of god while they go to the arena, or some lines like that. They also got a ton of money for tearing down the support buildings around it.

I’m not saying old buildings aren’t worth preserving, but they keep closing churches left and right, what’s one more.

I’ve seen a heard cross the highway near the squirrel hill tunnel.

I saw someone hit a deer going southbound on McKnight near the post office. They just clipped it and kept going but it was laying on the ground trying to get up. I was going northbound and turned around. Called the police and put my flashers on, I just didn’t want someone to come along and hit it again. Poor thing, it died before the police came. Sucked to be helpless.
