Does the Catholic Church base church closure/consolidation solely on attendance? The church was open until 2010, which suggests there was attendance.
There was a diocesan - or perhaps NY archdiocesan - policy that encouraged the closing of churches, not because they didn’t have a congregation or because they were in debt (this one was apparently ok), but because they “might” in the future have expenses they couldn’t cover.
The Vatican actually prevented the closing of one such church in Rochester (I think it was) just a couple of months ago, so I don’t think Francis is on board with this “close ‘em all policy.” Unfortunately, Cdl Dolan is a big fan of the suburbs and the creation of mega-parishes, and he has hired a consulting firm that is going around recommending urban or rural churches for closing.
I hope Pope Francis’ view triumphs, since it is obviously the view that you’ve just got to trust God more and get out there and evangelize more.
