Endangered Pilsen Church Receives $3M Gift
March 15, 2016
Ask and ye shall receive: St. Adalbert Catholic Church, the Pilsen church that has made Preservation Chicago's "Chicago 7" list of endangered buildings twice in the past three years, received a surprise gift that could jump-start plans to save the crumbling building.
A anonymous parishioner donated $3M to St. Adalbert. The parishioner received the sum from his aunt who died recently, along with instructions to forward it to the church when he died. Given the state of disrepair, he decided to donate the money to St. Adalbert immediately.
