Graceless and unfaithful

closing of churches

Unless you are a Diocesan bureaucrat, when it becomes a Journey in Faith and Grace.

"As much as the diocese wants to spin the process into something positive, calling it the Journey in Faith and Grace, it’s nothing short of a disaster to the people who have been baptized, received first communion and confirmation, were married, had their children baptized and said their final good-byes to their loved ones all in the same church. For many of them, closing it will be as if part of their spiritual lives has been ripped from their souls, never to be replaced. "
