oops, forgot to mention, it's a very ugly building in need of about 500k in repairs.

It *is* rather ugly, but I'd be skeptical about the $500K repair amount. The archdiocese has become notorious in inflating repair figures as part of the excuse for closing parishes. My parish, Holy Trinity in the South End, is a case in point. It has been let out that we "need" $250,000 in repairs, but outside contractors have been brought in by the parishioners, and the repair total is closer to $50,000, and some of that is merely cosmetic, not structural.
