But then also the era of "Old is out, new is better" opting to build new mega-churches instead of renovating and maintaining older buildings. There's churches FAR more grand than this pretty much abandoned by the different Diocese scattered all around the region!!! It's truly sad because the quality of craftsmanship is lost...
@@MesmrEwe I don't know if you're Catholic, but you are speaking straight facts.

Jesus won’t rebuild this church. Look at those statues. Read Exodus 20. He hates idol worship. Catholic pray to Mary instead of Jesus Christ. Mary is died , Jesus Christ is risen according to the book of Matthew 28:5-6 KJV And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. How can y’all disrespect Jesus Christ like that? Philippians 2:10-11 KJV That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that every catholic repent and stop idol worship and turn to JesusChrist for salvation. Acts 4:12 KJV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 2:38KJV Then Peter said unto them, {Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.} REPENT!!! Matthew 3:2 KJV Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Catholicism kept me in bondage for 28 years. I was not led to Jesus, I was not led to the bible, and I was not filled with the Holy Spirit. I was taught to do vain traditions and outright idolatry.

I live next door to a Catholic Church that did not reopen after lockdowns in 2020 and it's sad to see it just sitting there. There are occasional masses, like funerals, so there's usually at least one mass a year, so it isn't completely abandoned, plus people go to maintain it so it could be used, but it's still sad to see.

Should’ve done what St.John Cantius church did and changed things up from a desolate novus ordo with bad maintainence to a flourishing beautiful Church with packed services.
I believe that churches like that are empty because the funds to keep it running (electricity, water, taxes, etc) aren’t being met, so the government has to step in because they couldn’t pay their bills. Please pray for parishes around the world to be able to stay open.
The only blessed mother one has in the woman that gave birth to them. Mary is only the mother of Jesus, James, Joseph, Simon, Jude, and at least two daughters.
@@sammygomes7381 careful reading of the Scriptures, taking their context into consideration, will show the error in this belief. Even the term “Blessed Mother” is biblical, as Mary said in Luke that all generations shall call her blessed. If you read the Early Church Fathers - the disciples of the apostles & their disciples - you will see how the earliest Christians honored Mary (to this day, we don’t worship her, but we honor her as the mother of Our Lord). We love & honor our own mothers & the mothers of our friends...how much more deserving of honor is the mother of our Lord & God, who created her to be His mother? 😊
@@mercedes_72 Careful reading of the scriptures will show you errored as the bible does not say "Blessed mother". You are correct that she did say every generation would call her blessed but I might point Christ called a lot of people blessed in the bible. While Jesus was teaching the multitudes, “a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!’” (Luke 11:27). Jesus responded, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it” Again, Jesus made it clear that there was nothing about Mary that elevated her above anyone else who heard the Word of God and obeyed it. Jesus Himself taught us not to consider His mother as the “Mother of God,” a person to be worshipped. Why read the early church fathers when I have God's word. Neither Christ or the apostles every prayed to Mary nor was she treated any differently than any other woman. I must disagree with that; Mary is totally worshipped by the Catholic church. The church took a Jewish woman that was a sinner like all of us, had other children, eventually died and was buried. They made her a goddess by saying she was sinless, made her a perpetual virgin, ascending into heaven and a queen. That is worship and it doesn't end there. They say she is making guest appearances all around the world. Nothing less than idol worship. Mary, like all prophets and apostles, followed the will of God and should be admired but that is where it ends.

Oh my God that church is so very beautiful and so tranquil you can almost feel the atmosphere there I wish they would have left all the old churches the way they used to be but now everyone is trying to update and modernize and they're just not the same but this is so beautiful
Sometimes I'm jealous of Catholic in western world. You have beautiful church everywhere, yet not a lot of people want to sit and pray inside. While me live in the most populated muslim country, sometimes my brothers and sisters got banned from simply praying in a small building and get persecuted. The permission to build church is just...exhausting. i pray for you all to fill the church. I hope the church becomes the place for many people to heal the soul. God bless.
Hoping it gets saved. Even if it's not by the church and just used as a building for the community,maybe even as a place of art or a place to visit. For example, there's a Waterstones in Bradford that was once a church, it's beautiful. There's a lot you could do with it. It'd be a shame to get rid of something like this or to let it deteriorate, I think of everyone that put money towards it in the past and how they'd feel, it's gorgeous.
This is heartbreaking. Prayer warriors, grab your rosaries and lets pray for this to be restored and for Christ to reside there once more. (I've seen ads that 75-150 churches, per week are closing.. how sad is the world not to realize we need them!).
In the areas of my families, the most people came to the masses today on Easter by the thousands and though standing, everyone was happy and applauded the masses of people coming! There is a revival! Jesus is coming back sooner than you think!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏

Philippians 2:10-11 KJV That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that every catholic repent and stop idol worship and turn to JesusChrist for salvation.
Acts 4:12 KJV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 2:38KJV Then Peter said unto them, {Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.}
REPENT!!!
Matthew 3:2 KJV Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Jesus actually would probably not approve. He would have that money spent on the poor

Bring this beautiful church back to life.
who will do it? 🤔🤔🤔
who will do it? 🤔🤔🤔
i am 11 and will say hail marys tonight for this church its so oretty
i am catholic since i was 0 and i pray this chapel will be used once again
Its remarkably sad to see beautiful cathedrals be abandoned overnight. I truly hope it returns to service. I hope even more that it isn't torn down to make a movie theater or something.
It is really hard because they are the most costly to maintain, one in our town was saved after they consolidated parishes and almost closed the most beautiful church in town out of 6 or 7
Sell it and donate the money to the poor like Jesus would do because it's just a building
@@lucialare7590 It is the house of God, not just "a building". Besides, we already give to the poor. #1 non governmental healthcare provider in Africa baby! 😎
@@saxtonhalegaming it's just a building that cannot even compare with what we are supposed to be preparing for and that's the kingdom of heaven it's not of this earth. We use this time to prepare for eternity and thats either with God and are alligned with Him or seperated from God. You either know Him or you don't. It's just a building because Jesus said the church was the people and didn't care where He taught. Wordly problems will be bound to this earth so it's not important just a building. The poor will always be amoung us so it's never enough and if we feel like because we gave once it can justify a reason to stop well that's not true. It's never enough there's always more we could do but that's a choice you can either feel like you're done and you did your part and that's fine or you can accept the fact that until Jesus comes it'll never be enough but we can do what we can no excuses
@@saxtonhalegaming Jesus literally had nothing and gave everything and could care less about anything of this earth and we should do the same if this building isn't being used why can't the poor use it or be sold for food? At this point it's a waste no one can do anything good with it would a modest building be so terrible for a church or does it have to be expensive and luxury to serve God's purpose of a place to worship and learn....Think about it........
Thanks for reporting!
This is a sad situation!
May God Bless this church and members!
I'm so happy to see that no one has stolen the beautiful artwork and artifacts. I'm sadden to see that no one thought to remove the beautiful Crucifix, Stations of The Cross or any of the Items that mean so much to Roman Catholics
Catholicism kept me in bondage for 28 years. I was not led to Jesus, I was not led to the bible, and I was not filled with the Holy Spirit. I was taught to do vain traditions and outright idolatry. Thank God I am free from this dead church. I am born again and filled with the Holy Ghost. I know my redeemer now. His name is Jesus and He deserves the praise. Not mary, not saints, not the pope, not the priest. O thankyou Jesus for the work you have done in my life. I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED ON
@@brotherdj777 I got one better, I pissed off the Priest so much he stop the whole mass. Not to mention sneaking into the side of the Church just to try on the Alter Boy outfits ( remember back in the day it was only boy that could accompany the Priest ) I was a horrible child
If all those Catholics who have fallen away would only come back and attend just once a week we could save all our Churches. May God have mercy on us. 🙏
As a Baptist, I hurt when any of God's house's close. He is Father of us all. Lord have mercy.
Us at UCSB can only dream of a beautiful church like this, we have a small but extremely packed parish cared for by the Franciscans.
They need to remove some stuff in there for safe keeping..,!
it will be razed and turned into a 55-and-over housing development or a planet fitness
Like the tabernacle!!! Good heavens to be...
Dear Jesus Christ, in your name, I pray in your Name, may this beautiful Church open again. May your Holy, Adorable Sacrifice be celebrated in that Holy Altar again.
Amen Lord Jesus, in your Holy, Mighty Glorious Name.
Amen
Amen
I live next door to a Catholic Church that did not reopen after lockdowns in 2020 and it's sad to see it just sitting there. There are occasional masses, like funerals, so there's usually at least one mass a year, so it isn't completely abandoned, plus people go to maintain it so it could be used, but it's still sad to see.
Lord please save this church! Bring Catholics back to the faith. This new generation of priests are good men and they should not have to bear the weight of the sins of the generation who hurt people.
Not unusual. There are hundreds like this lying empty in France.
And many have been given over to muslims to make a place of worship for muslims. All over usa , england
@@abdulrashidmansoori7539 even in the USA
Very sad
@@JTheBeastMcneil People are not interested in religion anymore. They lie empty till they are sold or demolished. Unless they are listed,in which case they cant demolish them.

Beautiful Roman Catholic church. Lord please save this church from destruction & so people can attend this beautiful blessed church. Amen 🙏🏼
People are the church .
This is just a beautiful building.
Just because people have stopped going to the church building's, doesnt mean they have left God.
With all the disgusting things that are going on in the church's now , that's why people have turned their backs on the church building's , not God.

Depends on which church building you go into .

Absolutely praying only Gods word be preached in it snd a as Apostle John said
But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie-just as it has taught you, abide in him. (1 John 2:27, ESV)
Meaning
John is not denying the importance of gifted teachers in the church (1 Cor. 12:28; Eph. 4:11) but indicates that neither those teachers nor those believers are dependent on human wisdom or the opinions of men for the truth. God’s Holy Spirit guards and guides the true believer into the truth (see 1 John 2:20-21).

John 14:6), so is the Holy Spirit (cf. 1 John 5:6; John 15:26; 16:13). abide in him. In response to such deceivers, the task of the genuine believer is to “walk in truth,” i.e., persevere in faithfulness and sound doctrine (see 1 John 2:20-21; 2 John 4; 3 John 4).
Study Bible Notes
WOW....this church is absolutely gorgeous!! Sad to think it all may be left to completely rot away or eventually be demolished 😥.... I hope that someone will save this church or at least save all the beautiful artwork/stained glass before it's to late!!!
It's a church of this broken world so whatever happens happens because the kingdom of God can't even compare with anything of this world and that's what we should be focused on. We can't be deceived if we are supposed to be preparing for Jesus Christ second coming.
TY Lucia 🙏❤️
It makes me cry, so many beautiful Catholic traditions being destroyed and for absolutely no purposeful reasons,it is devastating, I Thank God for the beautiful memories and I am sad that the young generation is being deprived of such beauty from the past
my prayers to all the congregations of this beautiful church.
I wonder how many members this church has had when it was open??!
And I wonder why it closed down?
It is so very beautiful. It has got to be saved. Some of the paintings are beyond words. The light fixtures are breathtaking. Whomever is responsible for this place must stop its further decline.
If I had to assume what church this was, it is St. Adalbert, it is in a Polish neighborhood of Chicago. I know I might be leaking it but please do not vandalize this place!
God Bless Everyone Amen 🙏 ❤
🙏🏼✝️💕🕊️Lord fill our hearts with You as our need so we will fill Your church all over the world in Jesus name Amen ✝️💕🙏🏼🕊️
People have no idea how to worship God 🙏 anymore and prefer what is modern and worldly rather than understanding that God is timeless and eternal...as fads change in human's mind... things that are infinite like God and His worship NEVER change... hopefully the beautiful things in that sacred space find new ... Worthy homes 🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️⛪⛪⛪👑👑👑👑♥️♥️♥️
If Gregorian-Tridentine, traditional Latin rite Mass is celebrated herein, the Church will be crowded. Just try it!

Amen
I'm not Catholic, but that is so sad. Ppl should do something about it
As an orthodox this is sad to see a church starting to crumble and falling apart. Hope god saves it 🙏
I love how the other workers pray outside to make the Catholic stronger❤
This is such a beautiful church. I pray that God will save it and it can be reopened again. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯
Should’ve done what St.John Cantius church did and changed things up from a desolate novus ordo with bad maintainence to a flourishing beautiful Church with packed services.
I believe that churches like that are empty because the funds to keep it running (electricity, water, taxes, etc) aren’t being met, so the government has to step in because they couldn’t pay their bills. Please pray for parishes around the world to be able to stay open.
This church should have long been paid for. That leaves maintenance&utilities. Remember tax-free.
That church is so beautiful and golden
Oh please, dear Lady our Blessed Mother Mary, please have some traditional priestly order take it over!
Amen!
This is tragic. They don't build churches like this anymore 😥
Hopefully we can build the true church of God's ppl up though that's what really matters.
The great apostasy has come, Our Blessed Mother has pleaded with us. Deaf ears always proceed open eyes. As fire falls💀 Detroit
The only blessed mother one has in the woman that gave birth to them. Mary is only the mother of Jesus, James, Joseph, Simon, Jude, and at least two daughters.
@@sammygomes7381 careful reading of the Scriptures, taking their context into consideration, will show the error in this belief. Even the term “Blessed Mother” is biblical, as Mary said in Luke that all generations shall call her blessed. If you read the Early Church Fathers - the disciples of the apostles & their disciples - you will see how the earliest Christians honored Mary (to this day, we don’t worship her, but we honor her as the mother of Our Lord). We love & honor our own mothers & the mothers of our friends...how much more deserving of honor is the mother of our Lord & God, who created her to be His mother? 😊
@@mercedes_72 Careful reading of the scriptures will show you errored as the bible does not say "Blessed mother". You are correct that she did say every generation would call her blessed but I might point Christ called a lot of people blessed in the bible. While Jesus was teaching the multitudes, “a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!’” (Luke 11:27). Jesus responded, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it” Again, Jesus made it clear that there was nothing about Mary that elevated her above anyone else who heard the Word of God and obeyed it. Jesus Himself taught us not to consider His mother as the “Mother of God,” a person to be worshipped.
Why read the early church fathers when I have God's word. Neither Christ or the apostles every prayed to Mary nor was she treated any differently than any other woman.
I must disagree with that; Mary is totally worshipped by the Catholic church. The church took a Jewish woman that was a sinner like all of us, had other children, eventually died and was buried. They made her a goddess by saying she was sinless, made her a perpetual virgin, ascending into heaven and a queen. That is worship and it doesn't end there. They say she is making guest appearances all around the world. Nothing less than idol worship.
Mary, like all prophets and apostles, followed the will of God and should be admired but that is where it ends.
LETS BE OPEN FOR ALL ATLEAST TO COME AND PRAY FOR ALL .GOD GLORY IN THIS CHURCH IS THEIR IN HIS HOLY PLACE .
God does not reside in a church, He resides in the heart of His people.

Oh my God that church is so very beautiful and so tranquil you can almost feel the atmosphere there I wish they would have left all the old churches the way they used to be but now everyone is trying to update and modernize and they're just not the same but this is so beautiful
The Church is supose to built out of the people first, then the building...
It was the people who came first and they decided to build a Church.
Then Vatican 2 happened and the rest is ... well, that's the video
@@savioblanc didnt I used word 'supose' ?
fun fact: people are no longer interested in religion 😂🤣
Sometimes I'm jealous of Catholic in western world. You have beautiful church everywhere, yet not a lot of people want to sit and pray inside. While me live in the most populated muslim country, sometimes my brothers and sisters got banned from simply praying in a small building and get persecuted. The permission to build church is just...exhausting. i pray for you all to fill the church. I hope the church becomes the place for many people to heal the soul. God bless.
I hope this church will be able to continue providing masses to the parishioners and somebody has to save this church❤❤❤
Hoping it gets saved. Even if it's not by the church and just used as a building for the community,maybe even as a place of art or a place to visit. For example, there's a Waterstones in Bradford that was once a church, it's beautiful. There's a lot you could do with it. It'd be a shame to get rid of something like this or to let it deteriorate, I think of everyone that put money towards it in the past and how they'd feel, it's gorgeous.
This is heartbreaking. Prayer warriors, grab your rosaries and lets pray for this to be restored and for Christ to reside there once more. (I've seen ads that 75-150 churches, per week are closing.. how sad is the world not to realize we need them!).
Lol. As if a rosary is going to fight demons. Satan laugh at this foolishness

In the areas of my families, the most people came to the masses today on Easter by the thousands and though standing, everyone was happy and applauded the masses of people coming! There is a revival! Jesus is coming back sooner than you think!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏
