On 3/31/16 a meeting hosted by the Neighbors of Saint Boniface was held at the Northwestern Settlement House. The meeting, which drew 76 attendees, brought local residents and property owners up to date on the status of the St. Boniface property.
The NOSB presented their mission statement that calls for saving the church structure and providing family-friendly owner occupied housing. That presentation also provided, a recent history, an explanation of talks with the owner and prospective developers and an in-depth look at current developments in the area showing the addition of approximately 900+ new units, most of which are rentals, built or being built within one half mile of the St. Boniface site.
Of the 76 attendees 71 signed a letter in support of the NOSB.
During the discussion portion of the meeting one of the attendees contributed that there could be re-uses for the church, other than residential, including a music school that is interested in the property.
