Assemblymember Latrice Walker calls for a halt to Our Lady of Loreto demolition plan
Ocean Hill-Brownsville church should be turned into a landmarked cultural center, she says
Stop the wrecking ball.
On Tuesday, state Assemblymember Latrice Walker called on Brooklyn’s Catholic hierarchy to withdraw its demolition application for a historic church in the Ocean Hill section of Brownsville, Our Lady of Loreto.
At a press conference outside the shuttered century-old church at 124 Sackman St., Walker (D-Brownsville) urged Catholic officials to work with the community and turn Our Lady of Loreto into a much-needed cultural center.
