“For sale” signs have gone up in front of several properties owned by the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
The properties include the 244 Dayton Avenue location, home to the office of The Catholic Spirit; the Archbishops’ residence and chancery offices at 226 Summit Avenue; the Hayden Center at 328 West Kellogg Boulevard and a vacant lot at 250 Dayton Avenue.
