Humboldt Park neighbors rally to save St. Mark

St. Mark Church in Humboldt Park is at a crossroads, and neighbors aren’t staying quiet. With the historic church and rectory up for sale, many fear they’ll be replaced by pricey new housing, erasing a piece of local history and Puerto Rican heritage. After strong community pushback, the school next door was removed from the sale, but the fate of St. Mark is still up in the air. Locals are organizing to landmark the buildings and dream of turning the space into a cultural hub. What would you like to see happen with St. Mark? #Religion #HumboldtPark #StMarkChurch
