Sale of this property by the Boston Archdiocese[edit]

See this article on the Archdiocesan decision to sell this chapel and cemetery.

The sale was completed in October of 2007 as the picture caption at the end of this article shows.

"St. Augustine, South Boston: Closed 11/2004. Sold to a luxury condominium developer 10/2007. The South Boston Neighborhood Development Corp. lost its bid to turn the church and nearby parish-school property into affordable housing for seniors and veterans."

It is very hard to find these articles; the Archdiocese has been extremely effective in keeping the information on sales out of the news-stream, especially on the Internet. I had to do several searches using several different forms of the text; the re-directs were all to another Boston parish (St. Augustine and St. Monica), although there are other extant references among groups in the Boston preservation community.108.20.70.31 (talk) 22:59, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
