St. Michael's Catholic Church closing for good this weekend.

Sux.

Church built by Polish immigrants who worked in steel mills.

Modeled after famous church in Krakow.

Truly a sad day.

An architectural masterpiece.

Very sad, it's a really beautiful church.

I get this is a message board, but you're persona here is vile.

I was looking at photos of this church yesterday. It is truly magnificent.

I thought the same when I saw the report on TV. It is a shame.

I never thought that it was a particularly well kept structure. And nowhere near as connected to the neighborhood as the Catholic church five blocks south on Exchange St. where the Mexican flavor is really celebrated.

And fwiw it's not in South Shore. It's a half mile away.
