Wisconsin abbey fire leaves offers intact for unused novitiate
In Gresham Wisconsin none of the parties proposing uses for a former abbey has withdrawn its offer after a fire damaged the building. Maurice Wilson for the Alexian Brothers said the Chicago based Roman Catholic order expects a decision by mid November on the novitiate future. The 84 room complex, once seized by militants earlier this year, was damaged Sunday by a fire that swept the 20 room mansion. Wilson said there is no damage estimate yet but the mansion cost about 1 million dollars when built in the 1940s.
