CLEVELAND – Parishioners of 12 closed Catholic churches have began meeting with Bishop Richard Lennon of the Cleveland Catholic Diocese. They’re discussing the process of re-opening the dozen parishes which were closed then re-opened by the Vatican under appeal.

Parishioners from the closed St. James Church in Lakewood and St. Adalbert in Cleveland met with Bishop Lennon on Wednesday.

“We had a very positive meeting. We talked about where we have been, where we will go. We know we have a lot of work ahead of us,” said Phillis Fuller Clipps, a St. Adalbert church-goer.
