Sorrow

I drove by Our Lady of Sorrows parish this week and noticed the convent is gone. Here is a series of photos I snapped last week.

in a country with homeless, how can a church tear down a house?

Thanks for the pics Tom. I hadn't been by there in a while. This is such a shame for such a beautiful and useful building to be razed. We will ever learn from our past mistakes? - Steve/urbanreviewstl.com
