Chautauqua church closing recommendations sent to bishop
"Thirteen Catholic parishes in northern Chautauqua County would be reduced to six under a restructuring plan being forwarded to Bishop Edward U. Kmiec. A Diocese of Buffalo commission appointed by Kmiec more than two years ago made the recommendations, based upon suggestions brought forth by parishioners and priests in the region, which stretches from Silver Creek to Ripley and includes the City of Dunkirk and the village of Fredonia. Among the churches slated to close under the plan are St. Hedwig in Dunkirk, St. Joseph in Fredonia, Immaculate Conception in Cassadaga and St. Thomas More in Ripley. Kmiec will make the final decision on the closures."
