It is a National Parish !!!!!! Look it up !!!!
Really !!! How do you know, you only showed up when your leader did. Have you actually looked at the parking lot in front of the school at all before or after church ??? '84 GMC pick-up, 90's taurus, 90's Wagoneer, some escorts, couple of mid-80s Cutlass' etc... If anyone does own a Lexus it's probably at least 10 years old . As for fur coats ----- give me a break. All of these people came over here with nothing and have worked all their lives to get what they have and yes some have done better than others, but so what, they deserve to buy a new car now and then. Spit on their Hispanic neighbors ---- again how do you know you weren't here until very recently. Right, kept a few thousand dollars in the bank which is no longer there. Payed two employees ....... I don't know anything about that and wonder how you do ? Didn't spend one ounce of effort to feed the poor ----- you have no idea. They had a nice social hall while Jesus lived in filth------- the social was established only a few years ago and it consists of some tables and a coffee pot in an old school classroom --PLEASE
Maybe YOU should pay more attention to the final blessing, then you wouldn't notice anyone leaving. Just a thought.
And they are wondering why we keep talking about throwing up....
Pastas
Thanks,I thought I was the only one who noticed.
From reading this thread up to post 243 it sounds like this was a boil needing to be lanced. So far it doesn't sound like financial abuse by the priest as much as a parish out of control.
So far there is too much hostility to figure out the facts. The picture of the church on the Omaha Archdiocese is nice though. I wonder if anyone has pictures of the inside and the improvements.
You can join the ones who leave when the administrator leaves. On "Kad tave velniai nujotu ------- ACIU !!!!
Oh and thanks for the support !!!!!!
Correction: They are the only two priests in their society (how cozy) since their third partner got in trouble. I am speaking of Christopher Clay, who is still under investigation in the Scranton Diocese for molestation of teenage boys:
File on alleged priest abuse gone
Priest removed from active ministry locally in 2002 barred this week in Texas
By BONNIE ADAMS
Wilkes-Barre (Pa.) Times Leader
A file with information related to a potential priest-abuse case is missing from the Monroe County District Attorney's Office.
Monroe County District Attorney E. David Christine Jr. said any criminal investigation into former Bishop Hafey High School priest Christopher Clay will not move forward unless alleged victims come forward.
A sexual-abuse allegation against Clay by a young man arose in 2002 during a separate diocese investigation into two priests at the Society of St. John in Pike County. Clay, who is not the subject of criminal charges or a lawsuit, is being investigated by the Diocese of Scranton.
Christine said Clay's case file was under the care of former District Attorney Mark Pazuhanich.
Pocono Mountain Regional Police told Christine this week that Pazuhanich made an unusual request in 2002 that the file be given directly to him instead of an assistant district attorney. Usually, an assistant district attorney reviews cases and then confers with the district attorney to determine whether charges should be filed.
Christine recently talked with his employees, who said they had not seen the file. "(The file) never got beyond him," Christine said of Pazuhanich. Christine said he's not accusing Pazuhanich, who is awaiting trial on child molestation charges in Wilkes-Barre, of wrongdoing related to the missing file.
Pazuhanich had said in a May 2002 interview with the Times Leader that Clay's alleged misconduct happened two to three years earlier in the Mount Pocono area. He had said the alleged victim was a juvenile at the time.
Pazuhanich had said the investigation was ongoing and no charges had been filed. He said the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department also was investigating. Pazuhanich could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Christine said he learned about the missing file after a Dallas, Texas, newspaper published a story Wednesday about Clay. The priest recently celebrated Mass in a Fort Worth church despite the Diocese of Scranton removing him from active ministry in 2002.
Christine said the missing file originated with the Lackawanna County District Attorney's Office and a copy was forwarded to the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department.
The district attorney said he believed the file contained information of a civil nature such as a videotape of a deposition. He said the file contained nothing that couldn't be reconstructed if needed.
The same young man who made sexual abuse allegations against Clay filed a lawsuit as "John Doe" in federal court in Scranton against two other priests, the Rev. Eric Ensey and the Rev. Carlos Urrutigoity. That case is pending.
In a deposition included in the federal lawsuit against Ensey and Urrutigoity, John Doe testified Clay had invited him to the Oratory in Monroe County. He said Clay "proceeded to get me roaring drunk. I remember throwing up in his room all over myself and him taking me into the next room and undressing me and then I woke up naked the next morning."
Christine said no alleged victim approached law enforcement to request a criminal investigation regarding Clay.
John Doe's attorney, James Bendell of Port Townsend, Wash., reacted Wednesday to the missing file. "This snafu makes me really worry whether the children of Pennsylvania are being protected from potentially dangerous predators."
The Diocese of Fort Worth this week barred Clay from participating in church activities in the Texas diocese.
Diocese of Fort Worth Chancellor, the Rev. Robert Wilson, said Wednesday that Clay was assisting at St. Mary the Virgin Church in Arlington, Texas. Wilson said the church's pastor, a longtime friend of Clay's, had not verified Clay was in good standing.
Aren't Father's attorneys a little too busy defending him in a Federal embezzlement case to bother reading posts on a website? A website, I may add, where we are free to give our opinions of everyone, including priests!
Maybe you would like to tell us why Fathers Stravinskas and
Gregoris left their idyllic Oratory of St. Philip Neri in the beautiful Pocono Mountain area of Pennsylvania to travel all the way across the country to a place you and your friends call a "dump"?
There is an ongoing investigation in the Diocese of Scranton. Christopher Clay, an associate of Stravinskas and Gregoris, is being sued in Federal court for the molestation of a teenage boy.
The ongoing Scranton story can be found on the Roman Catholic Faithful website, rcf.org.
The good nuns taught me a proverb way back in my Catholic school days. It was this:
Show me your company and I'll tell you what you are.
Yousigned up today just to say that?
I smell a rat.
Stravinskas and his boy are pulling them out of the woodwork now. Quite a campaign they have going on to save their butts!
Jadwiga, right! Did Nick get a sex change?
