Tacoma’s Holy Rosary Catholic Church will be permanently closed and demolished.

That’s the decision given to congregants during evening mass Saturday by the Archdiocese of Seattle.

Archbishop J. Peter Sartain has issued a decree to permanently close the building, it was announced Saturday.

1. I'm not Catholic, but I'll be sorry to see it go.

I wonder if they'll re-build the church?...

2. The catholic church needs to do more demolishing

starting with it's own inner workings.

As for the church, sorry to see such an old building demolished. If the catholic church hadn't had to pay out so much money for all those abuses, perhaps they could have saved this building.

3. If it were important, the HQ in Rome would send money for the repairs. nt
