(Cleveland) Bishop Richard Lennon received a decree from the Vatican on Wednesday ordering the reopening of 13 churches the Bishop closed in 2009 due to dwindling parishioners and a shortage of priests.
On Thursday night, members of three of those parishes gathered at Brennan’s Party Center urging the Bishop to comply with that decree.
Members of St. Casimer’s in Cleveland, St. Pat’s in West Park and St. James in Lakewood want all the property and assets of the churches restored.
They want new pastors assigned and restorations of the parish councils.
