Seems there is a lot bigger story to this then just the handicapped accessibility:

"The facilities at St. Vincent - which has nearly triple the Sunday attendance - are roughly twice the size of St. Aloysius', with room to grow, members say.

Thanks to a recently completed $1.1 million capital campaign, St. Vincent has a new boiler and roof and, just four weeks ago, dedicated a combined parish hall, rectory and chapel. The money for the buildings came from parishioners.

Through a foundation established in memory of his daughter, Joan "Babe" Canuso Fischer, Canuso and his wife, Joan, donated about $400,000 to the St. Vincent building fund. The cavernous new parish hall, with wooden ceilings, large windows, and room for parties, is named for Babe, who died in 2005 at age 40.

"This is Babe's legacy, and I have to keep that alive," said Canuso, a developer who lives in Haddonfield.

... its buildings will become the property of the newly created parish and can be sold or put to another purpose when the merger is completed within two years."

"If people gave in good conscience for these buildings, it's about them being able to use these buildings for the reasons they gave," he said. "I think changing that violates an ethical responsibility."

However:

"St. Aloysius has ramps, but parts of the church remain inaccessible, they say."

I think the worst part is that they took money from people, fixed it up, and now are going to sell it for a profit. Fancy that.
