Vandalism in upstate NY

(1/4) > >>

pwhodges:
Seven years ago, the congregation of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Queensbury, NY (RC Diocese of Albany) got a new organ.  300 donors and more helped pay for it, and it was built by the organist, who didn't charge for his labour:



Yesterday, the pastor bought a keyboard and put the organ in a skip, literally:



At least one other church wanted it; even the scrap value of the lead and tin in the pipes would be considerable.  And what do the donors think?  I suppose there has to be a story behind vandalism on this scale, but it hasn't emerged yet.  Story here.

Wait, so hooligans become pastors these days?  :psyduck:

What a waste!

Dliessmgg:
What the hell.

As a boy, I used to sing in the choir of St Patrick's Cathedral Armagh (CoI) and I remember the long campaign to raise money for and build a new organ. The sheer amount of work and money involved was incredible. The thought of something with that much love and effort put into it being stuck in a skip like that offends me to my core.
