Fulfilling a pledge he made to parishioners earlier this week, Archbishop Wilton Gregory has called for a special meeting of the Catholic clergy to discuss the future of his new home, a $2.2 million mansion in Buckhead built with money from a parishioner’s will.

The meeting is scheduled for Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Archdiocese of Atlanta’s business office in Smyrna.

In scheduling the meeting, Gregory is keeping a vow he made Monday in the Georgia Bulletin, an archdiocesan newspaper. In a column to parishioners, Gregory apologized for building the 6,196-square-foot house, located on Habersham Road, and said he would heed the advice of three clerical councils about what to do with it.
