What has happened ? Is the OCA selling it ? For what reason ?
Financial or ideological ?
That's a beautiful facade over the doorways - what a pity !

I'll try to look at this from the library
You know, whenever recently I have tried to access the overall E.Cafe site, the computer won't budge ! It sits there, mutters something about
a security certificate some times
Could you possibly check what may be the obstacle, Fr Joseph ? 
I like to be able to sign in from there when I see a good article, like I did yesterday detailing the history of Shamordino Convent.

We were hit with a DDOS attack. It should be fine now.

Oh, was THAT it ? What kind of attack is THAT< by the way ?
No wonder.
Thanks for fixing it
I did see the video
Very effective way to publicize this alarming Church sale !
What is the latest, have there been offers made ? Apparently not, or you would have mentioned a pending sale
Is the price cheap for that part of Pennsylvania ? Or are all the real estate values depressed ? For that sale price seems so low for ALL that !
I wish a TOC could afford to buy that !

Update! See article https://www.citizensvoice.com/2025/09/2 ... emolition/ . Demetri TRIED to buy it. They REFUSED. They've now removed the stain glass windows, exposing all the icons to the elements.

Thank you for giving the update ; i'll read it later.
That is SO TERRIBLE ! 
Sorry to hear that. What is happening to those icons ? I hope not thrown away !!
What about the stained glass windows too ?
Maybe that's in the update - I'll check it from the library.
