CLEVELAND — We are still waiting to hear from Bishop Richard Lennon on the Vatican’s ruling to re-open 13 area churches. It’s been a fight thousands across our area took on to worship where they had their roots.

“Denial. I would tell you it couldn’t happen,” says St. Peter’s parishioner Kate Uhlir.

But the threat to shut down their church became more than a reality.

“To walk across the threshold of the church to the outside and know that you will never walk across and never come back in, that was really hard.”
