Now that the church will be demolished we can all focus our energy on what will be built on this huge EV lot. Will there be more corporate retailers and bank at street level? How many stories and will this be a stepped back structure or a 12 story wall of glass and steel?

Seriously, if the Church is just throwing out its contents instead of redistributing them, giving them away, or selling them, THEY don't care any more, and neither do I.
Reps for developer Douglas Steiner filed permits in late April to demolish the now-vacant parcel of Mary Help of Christians that includes the church, school and rectory, as we first reported.
Steiner has plans to convert the property into a residential complex
And workers have been on the scene this morning tossing/carting various items from the church on East 12th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.
Ruth, a neighbor, reports that workers are "tossing out stacks of hymnals or prayer books. Also bookshelves, computer, books, furniture."
