St. Philip's Episcopal Church

Buffalo, New York 14203
Dear Mr. Parks:
This response to your repeated interest in our property at 222
Northland is late, and I know that it is not in keeping with your desires.
Our Board of Directors has formally adopted a motion to retain
this property, withour change in the present use and agreements.
While we certainly are aware of your need, and know that the
possibilities of your interest in it's use would be very much in keeping
with our own philosophies, we feel that in continuing the present situation
we are, in fact, providing a Ministry to people. This "Ministry" serves
people through the Skills Assesment Center as well as utilization of the
Church proper in Worship Services.
We pray that God bless your efforts and that His will be done in
providing a direction for your congregation.
Sincerely,
William A. Goldbach
President
