As a lifelong Catholic who values the sacred spaces in which we practice our faith, I support the petition to preserve Holy Family in Winona.

My family has ties to the church. My grandparents an uncle and brother are buried there. Growing up we celebrated many family reunions there.

Although I live in Illinois, have East Chain roots, and am no longer Catholic, I treasure what was founded in East Chain at Holy Family Church.
This community has served my ancestors, newcomers and many more and deserves the support of the Church. What a unique place to worship and commune with God this is.
This little site has seen so much goodwill and celebratory occasions that it should not be a forgotten, inconvenient, and (????) unsustainable property. I cannot imagine the thinking that goes into the justifying taking it away.
Please think again, Diocese of Winona. This is a lovely tribute to Minnesota faith.
