Mayor Dave Kitchell says the former St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Church building in the 800 block of Spencer Street will be under a microscope in the coming weeks as contractors remove the cross from atop the church.
Emmaus officials met with city officials Tuesday out of concern for efforts that can be done to stabilize the property and either market it for sale or demolish it. Kitchell says the church has not been used actively for worship since its congregation was combined with the former St. Joseph and St. Bridget Catholic Churches in the 1980s to form All Saints Parish.
The mayor has asked City Building Commissioner Tom Harp to inspect the structure and make recommendations on any structural needs that should come before the city.
Kitchell expects to receive a report on structure at next Wednesday’s Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety meeting.
