CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –
On this Easter Sunday the faithful everywhere celebrated the resurrection of Christ but for some local Catholics this holy day takes on a new meaning as they pray their closed churches will come alive again too.
Since before they could walk or talk Ray Kasperski and Ray Michalski have been parishioners at St. Casimir church in Cleveland.
“I went to school here,” said Ray Kasperski.
“I was baptized, married and hopefully will be buried here,” said Ray Michalski.
Despite a lifetime of membership for the second Easter in a row Ray and Ray are forced to worship outside their home church along with other lifelong parishioners. St. Casimir remains locked up — even though the Vatican has ordered the church to be re-opened.
