The Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Church, located on Second Avenue, was in danger of being demolished after hundreds of years. But after a three-hour debate, the packed house of people voted down the proposal of removing the church for affordable housing.

The majority felt losing the church would be a huge loss for the city. Holy Spirit was founded by German and Irish immigrants in the late 1800s.
