Well done video. We need to pray for a favorable outcome. Here in the Capital Region, the solvency of a parish did not prevent its closure. In one community, catholics from 6 parishes were asked to meet with each other and develop a proposal for the bishop that would include closing some of the churches. The bishop never attended any of the meetings and scrapped the proposal they submitted. He left them with one church. The citizens fought back in a valiant effort to save St. Patrick's, modeled after the Basilica at Lourdes.

Sadly, the supermarket draws a much larger attendance than the church. It is a reflection of our secularist society.

How horrifying!

I will pray harder; it’s all that’s left to do, I fear.
