A March 3 press conference invites the faithful to engage with an effort to keep open Catholic parishes in or near Chicago despite efforts within the archdiocese to merge or close them.
An activist group calling itself "Saving Our Catholic Churches" will gather with media and concerned Catholics at 11 a.m. CT in front of the shuttered
All Saints-St. Anthony's church, 518 W. 28th Pl. in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood.
The signs are not very precise, but basically have the same meaning: churches should remain as sanctuaries where we worship God and not sold for big money. Unfortunately, beginning last year, a lot of churches are being sold exactly for that reason....We are still fighting for St. Adalbert in Pilsen, having case in Rome as well as prayers every Sunday in front of the Holy Name Cathedral and every Friday evening in front of now closed St Adalbert. Everybody is welcome to join in our prayers!
Sounds good, thank you. The 3rd sign I get. Don't understand the 2 with profit in them. Perhaps something specific to Chicago? We have been having these weekly prayers in Naperville, for unrestricted church opening.

Left to right:
God's house is not for profit.
Churches are for praise not profit!
Do not betray Jesus by closing catholic churches.
