On Monday, Bishop Richard Lennon releases his report to the community, which will disclose property sales and parish Reinvestment.

With the Bishop will be finance director James Gulick and both are to address the Media.

The news conference wil be held at The Museum of Divine Statues in Lakewood, the former St. Hedwig Church.

Lennon will release information on the closed and merged Parishes, which resulted from the 8 county Diocesan reconfiguration plan.

Diocese spokesman Robert Tayek says there will be an updated accounting of the closed parish cash related to sales, transferred savings, expenses, and activities.

He tells Newsradio WTAM that everything was done to the letter of both church and civil law. Tayek says it is mandated that the money from the sales of closed churches and disposition of assets must be returned to the parishes.
