The owner of the former St. Hedwig’s Roman Catholic Church in Duquesne wants public input on what to do with the building.
A meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Oct. 10 at the church, corner of Fifth Street and Kennedy Avenue, to discuss the possible reuses of the building.
The church, built in 1928, was closed following the merger in 2020 of several area Catholic churches into the new St. Thomas the Apostle Parish.
Property tax records indicate the property was sold to a Erie, Pa., company called MTR Investments earlier this year for $91,000.
According to Council Member Denise Brownfield, the property has eight to 10 residential rooms, a social hall and other features that could be reused.
“They want community input as to what might be done with the property,” she said. “We want to share ideas, but keep the negativity at home.”
