Lowell Sun Online - Closure of Nuestra Senora del Carmen
"An absolute architectural gem that almost is equal to the basilicas in Rome." and more
"Perhaps the finest local example of "Romanesque Revival" religious architecture"
"Nuestra Senora, the only church in Lowell with Masses in Spanish."
A historical gem and a Church serving the needs of a particular community, so first in the firing line for the officials from the Diocese.
Dr. Maria Cuesta from Nuestra Senora del Carmen even fled Cuba and now she finds its not Castro but the diocese that specialises in destroying churches.
Sandi Gallagher from Saint Joan of Arc (also closing) puts it so well:
"I just hate the message this sends to children," Gallagher said. "You build and support something and it can be pulled out from under you. ... It's not about religion, it's about money."
