Parish closes peacefully
St. Mary Help of Christians once served Slovenian congregation
"With Auxiliary Bishop Richard Sklba evoking memories of all of life's passages, from baptisms to funerals, marked in the sanctuary of the Catholic church, and with his entreaty to deal with the church's closing in a positive frame of mind.
With a last speech to the congregation in Slovenian, the language that was native to the people who founded the church in 1904. Not that more than a handful in the current congregation could understand what was being said. The Slovenian identity of the church pretty much passed years ago."
I am getting very bored with Diocesan bishops comparing the closure of a Church to death and asking for mourning and forgetting. It is the Bishop that killed this parish.
