Church building about to dismal ending

In the realm of Christianity the significance of church is immense. Though the infidels or nonbelievers of Christianity consider it as a mere building for worship, it is much more than that. A church building, to be precise, is a building or structure whose most important purpose is to facilitate the meeting of a church. In the beginning, Christians used to meet in synagogues and in one another’s homes. However, with the growth of Christianity through centuries and owing to its increasing acceptance by governments, rooms, and eventually entire buildings, were set aside for the explicit purpose of Christian worship.

This has been the convention through ages and for that reason any alternative thought has also been beyond imagination. But, it seems, that in this age we are having a jolt in almost every sector of life and the religion is no exception. Are people getting tired with the religious practices and its orthodoxy? Why are the churches being closed then? Well, we have no answer to this question but at several parts of the globe this sorry picture is being witnessed. The last one to join this list of unhappy developments is the Holy Cross Catholic Church on Lansing’s west side. It has come to the knowledge that this church is also on the verge of closing.

Will it pull the plug on forever or amalgamate with other? Nothing can be said at this moment since the members of the Holy Cross Catholic Church will learn its fate at this weekend only. Is there any chance of staying open? According to the insiders, it is too bleak. There are only two chances, it has been learnt. Either the church will close its doors permanently or will become a subordinate site to St. Mary Cathedral.

What have been the main reasons behind this deplorable state of the Holy Cross Catholic Church? As indicated by many, the dwindling membership is a strong reason while others think that the Franciscans are becoming apathetic to staff anymore.
