It's very easy to "miss your point" since you most often don't even have one.

To quote you: "This guys seems to depend on numbers to have Mass or not."

Makes sense to me! If no one is showing up for daily Mass or special liturgical events like Adoration, why should he knock himself out? Were you there? Was Angelas there?

This may explain why your parish was/will again wither on the vine.

I have just joined in on these "comments" and I find yours to be very brutal. For you never having been to St. Anthony's LITHUANIAN Church before the arrival of the so-called "administrator", you seem to know a lot of information regarding Father(and believe me, I have a hard time calling him this) Stravinskas and the Church. He may be God in your eyes, and I compare him to David Koresh, but that's neither here nor there. What all this comes down to is "money". If he came to the parish with it having almost half a million dollars (which probably took close to 40 years to fairly gain), how can one man spend it in 21/2 years? Yes, renovations to the Church and the rectory were done HOWEVER AWFUL they may look, but there was no parishioner input regarding these renovations and the money being spent. If renovations were only, let's say, $200,000, where's the other 200,000?
