Church asset sales
become an issue
The Jan. 1 closing of All Saints Parish in Agawam left the fate of St. Therese and St. Anthony churches, their two rectories, a parish center and a parking lot in the hands of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield.
The same goes for church properties in neighboring West Springfield, where the diocese on Jan. 1 closed St. Ann and St. Louis de France parishes and merged them with Immaculate Conception to form a new parish, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini.
