The Pilot is the official weekly newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston, published from offices in Braintree, Massachusetts. On December 3, 2022, it published an article, "Loss of print media seen as posing challenges to U. S. church communications." The link to the thirty-paragraph analysis is HERE.

Two hundred years ago
On July 25, 1822, the cornerstone of St. James's church on Jay Street was placed on his feast day. The Tablet has an article HERE.
I wonder whether the street was called Jay Street at the time.

St. Patrick, Kent Ave., for sale
Usually, it is easy to find diocesan decrees on a website, but in this case I can only refer to a July 18, 2022, Tablet article behind a registration wall HERE.

In 1856, the renowned architect Patrick Keely built St. Patrick's church on the northwest corner of Kent Avenue and Willoughby Avenue. In 2010, the nearby parish of St. Lucy was merged into it. Now, the church is falling down, and in June the Bishop decreed its sale. Among the several reasons for my guess that the buyer will demolish it is the growing Hasidic community nearby.
Please refer to my older post.
