I must stand as the conscientious objector to this building. Father Dowling was so focused on raising funds for this church he wouldn't allow my family to make an announcement for a small project I was working on as Peace Corps Volunteer in Ghana, I needed a few thousand dollars to build a new classroom block for the deaf school I worked at. They blocked them from making an announcement, putting it in the bulletin, etc... because he didn't want to take away from parishioners funding his precious church. Compared to the multi million dollar project that this church became, my small project would not have harmed his fund raising, but still it was blocked. Shame on Father Dowling and the misguided focus of this building, becoming more important than actually completing good works in the world.
