It was picture perfect: A young family enjoying the
balmy spring weather with an evening stroll. Heading down the sidewalk
of 19th Street in Watervliet, Eric Fagan, Jill Fagan, and their daughter
Amber walked toward the tree-lined front lawn of St. Patrick’s, turning
to look at the stately, soaring church. When asked if they knew about
the vacated church’s possible fate, Jill answers firmly, “We don’t want
it torn down. No one does.”
