We just built a new Catholic Church, the old one had been undersized since the 1940s was a stone stucture built in the 1898 and should have been replaced decades ago. An addition wasn't possible as the limestone walls were part of the support structure and church overall had seen its better days. With lots of people moving into the town if you wanted a place to sit with your family you had to get there 20 minutes early. You couldn't have a decent sized funeral or wedding in it (it had actually been years since a "traditional wedding" had been held there.
But you should have heard some of the people &%^%*# and *^&# when it was put to a vote to build the new church. I literally heard one exclaim "If it weren't for all these youg families coming in we wouldn't need a new church". I guess she had no idea how something survives from one generation to the next. As in most communities it seemed like the people that had grown up there just took what they had for granted and did little to help keep it up. All the people on the parish board and other volunteer positions were filled by people that had moved to the town in the last 10-15 years - most of the old time residents were to lazy to get off their arses and do the work then complained when it wasn't done like it had been done the last 50 years.
Caused lots of hard feelings but it does every time something new comes along. The church size when from seating for 200 to seating for 450 with room to expand. When one of the most vocal oppenents of the building died I pointed out to his son (who actually was for the project) how full the church was and how half those people wouldn't be there if his dad had his way.
