Archbishop Charles J. Chaput has decided to close three worship locations in the region, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced Sunday.
Worshipers learned during weekend services that the St. John of the Cross Church building in Roslyn (Queen of Peace Parish), the Mater Dolorosa Church building in Frankford (Holy Innocents Parish) and the St. Cecilia Church building in Coatesville (Our Lady of the Rosary Parish) no longer will serve as Roman Catholic churches as of Sept. 16.
The Archdiocese explained that no one lost a parish church as a result of Sunday’s announced closings because the three churches’ congregations already had merged into other parish churches.
