LAKEWOOD, Ohio — At St. James Church in Lakewood, parishioners said their prayers have been answered.
The Vatican overturned the closings of 13 Cleveland-area parishes, according to the attorney who led a legal fight against their doors being shut for good.
According to attorney Peter Borre, the ruling was handed down by the Congregation of the Clergy last week.
Borre tells Fox 8 News’ Kevin Freeman, the clergy showed that Bishop Richard Lennon did not follow proper procedure in closing the parishes in 2009.
