If there’s anything that just about sums up the desperation of the Great Depression in one filthy package, it’s photos of the Dust Bowl, when over-farming. 1 I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul. PRIMO, the largest independent national magazine for and about Italian Americans, provides quality journalism on Italian American history, heritage, and achievements.

Marzio, of the Brooklyn archdiocese. Our Lady of Loreto has been destroyed. The Brooklyn archdiocese got its way. And the church, built by Italian immigrants over 1. One photo was taken by my son Samer last week. You can see how the church is boarded up. No doubt this is a demolition site.

You can see how the roof has been removed and, thus, the interior. It is reminiscent of what happens to a building that had a bomb dropped on it. The church was near a subway stop. I visited there in 2. Our Lady of Loreto was located on 1. Sackman Street in Brooklyn. Part of Brownsville or Ocean Hill neighborhood in Brooklyn.

Some refer to the area as East New York. This neighborhood was once a densely populated Italian neighborhood.

About 1. 10 years ago, the Italian immigrants wanted a Catholic church of their own. A house of worship that conveyed their language, customs and traditions. So, they volunteered their money and labor. Many of the men who lived there were carpenters and bricklayers and had experience in construction.

They hired an Italian architect and built a beautiful church. You can see photos here from the web site devoted to Our Lady of Loreto, a web site maintained by Dominick Mondelli.

The interior was beautifully designed. There is a ceiling mural. A statue of San Innocenzo at Loreto.

Here is a photo of Mass at the church in 1. You can see that it was well- attended and made up of many devoted parishioners. In the 1. 96. 0s, Our Lady of Loreto was turned over to the Brooklyn archdiocese. Watch The Eagle`S Brood Putlocker# there. And 4. 0 years later, the archdiocese wanted to tear it down.

That’s when PRIMO got involved. I published a feature article on the effort of Italian Americans who once lived in the neighborhood, who attended Mass there at Our Lady of Loreto, who were baptized there, had their first communion and confirmation there; and so they organized to save the church. Besides PRIMO, the Italian Tribune, mainstream newspapers and news sites in New York such as the New York Times and the Daily News and others brought a lot of publicity to the preservation effort. And all things were offered to the archdiocese including a creative development idea that preserved the church. This was back in 2.

Brooklyn archdiocese agreed to retain the church in return for demolishing the rectory next door. The archdiocese was supposed to upkeep the structure and they didn’t. And here is where one wonders about the intentions of Bishop Nicholas Di. Marzio and other officials of the Brooklyn archdiocese. Did they intentionally allow Our Lady of Loreto to deteriorate so they could claim it as a danger to the community and apply for demolition? This is what happened over the last 1. The fight to preserve it included petitions and donation drives.

Now, you hear the news about how divided is America. Well, the activists involved came from all walks of life. Not just Italian Americans, but people who live in the neighborhood or are active in it - these were African Americas who’s ancestors come from different parts of Africa and the Caribbean - these were Latinos - Asians - everyone was involved to keep Our Lady of Loreto because they all recognized it as a beautiful church - a real work of art in so many ways. In the end, however, the fight was lost. The legal appeals exhausted and the archdiocese had their way - and Our Lady of Loreto is being torn down. In its place will be affordable housing. You can see photos here, taken by Todd Maisel, of The Daily News, how the the murals, statuary, the decorative elements - all being beaten and destroyed.

The time it took to build them, the craftsmanship, the artistry - all for nothing - destroyed. Very sad. This is not the only church to face its extinction. PRIMO reported on St Peter’s in Duluth, Minnesota and the effort there by Robin Mainella to save it. The situation began also around 2. I wanted both churches to survive. But I thought if one was going to face it’s demolition, it would have been St.

Peter’s. Instead, the opposite happened. Watch Superman III Online Forbes. An artist by the name of Jeffrey T. Larson purchased St.

Peters and has now turned it into an art academy. One wonders, why couldn’t the same thing have happened to Our Lady of Loreto. This part of Brownsville is still knee deep in poverty and dispossession. It remains a place plagued by urban decay. People need more than just a roof over their heads.

They need inspiration from art. They need faith. One wonders why the Brooklyn archdiocese didn’t sell the property to another denomination - perhaps a Protestant faith - now prevalent in the area.

In return for keeping the church and its interior decorations, the people there could have a place of worship. It is not unusual for Catholic churches to be converted to Baptists and other Protestant denominations.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The turning point was when the parish turned itself over to the archdiocese. Any time you build something, you should try and keep it, because those whom you hand it over to, really don’t care and they will destroy it when the moment arises. The silver lining are the activists, all ethnicities and backgrounds, that tried to save Our Lady of Loreto.

We commend them for their efforts. We commend also the Italian immigrants who built this church. They came to build up the city and not tear it down - unlike the archdiocese and now even some others in local government that want to tear down statues of Columbus and others. We learn from this sad situation, that the effort to preserve our Italian heritage in New York and all over America is well worth the fight and we have to keep fighting whenever we are faced with destruction of our heritage. Here is a list the people who fought the good fight to save Our Lady of Loreto.

If I missed anyone, please let me know, as I want to include anyone and everyone who fought the good fight. We commend the following people who led the effort to preserve the church. Flavia Alaya.
