I'm not sure who I should reply to so I just picked one. I've been a parishioner for going on 45 years now . I was baptized, went to school and participated in the parish events and functions ethnic or otherwise. I've been following this controversy over our present (temporary) administrator. Although I belong to 2 parishes at present because of my childrens educational needs, I still consider St. Anthony's my home parish. Now, I know EVERYONE thinks they have all the facts about all this, but I think we should leave it in the hands of the authorities who are investigating this case. When the investigation is completed I'm sure this whole thing will be resolved by the PROPER authorities not all of these self-made ones. I sympathize with the parishioners who have been members of this parish for years. Their money has disappeared and they are afraid of losing the parish. This is just my opinion.
The only reason this discussion is even taking place is because the media has insisted on and been fooled into presenting one side of the whole mess.
I have no problem discussing this in a public forum, but now that this has taken a direction that is not only irrelevant and false, but also evil, I am not going to participate in this anymore.
To do so would only give creedence to someone's personal demons.
You know where to find me.
