Great plan at Holy Ghost Church meeting - just kick the can down the road

After three consecutive weekly bulletins were distributed to parishoners at Holy Ghost Church, in addition to emails, telephone calls, and copies sent to some members in good standing of proposed by-laws for the new St. Nicholas Brotherhood, a meeting scheduled today to vote on the new by-laws failed to achieve a quorum.

By Holy Ghost Church's by-laws, a quorum consists of 50 Church members.

Approximately 42 or 43 members attended today's meeting.

Not a quorum by Holy Ghost Church's by-laws.

For those who wish to preserve and protect the 22 acre site located at Starr and Bridge Streets from a sale of a portion of the property to build a HUD apartment building, good news.

At first blush.

What happened next, in my humble opinion, reduces the attempt at legitimacy (see Court Order below) to zero.

A motion was made to continue with the meeting even though a quorum was not achieved. Motion passed.

Another motion to accept the new by-laws for the new St. Nicholas Brotherhood (which the Court Order declares already exists in perpetuity!) was approved by approximately 38-39 members, with 4 dissenting, or 20% of the membership of Holy Ghost Church.

Kick the can is a childhood game.

One can only imagine the road this can will travel due to the actions taken today.
