Local Catholics fought hard to preserve the church. The diocese closed it in 2012 because of structural damage and declining church attendance.
The church was built in 1886. Also being sold are the school and a convent, which are to be converted into an Islamic centre. The new owners will invest several million dollars in these buildings.
