I'm really shocked that St. Joseph's in Greenwich Village is closing. It is such an old, historic church, founded in 1833. Such a shame....

Hi Jim, I did not see St. Joseph's of Greenwich Village, NY County, NYC mentioned in the list of closings/mergings that I posted, either here> https://cbsnewyork.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/parish_list_2_final_-_one_church_103114_2.pdf OR here> https://cbsnewyork.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/parish_list_1_final_-_both_churches_103114_2.pdf History of St. Joseph of G.V....the old Irish parish in the area> http://washingtonsquarecatholic.org/parish-history Jim, do you know something that we don't know? During my thirty plus years researching Manhattan parishes, St Joseph was the only parish that was uncooperative [and overpriced] to work with.
