Bingo? That's funny! Remember the bingo account in NJ from a previous post:
"When Stravinskas took over as pastor of St. John's Byzantine Church in Bayonne, NJ he TOOK over and did everything HIS way which began with his redecorating the parish rectory with new phones, carpets and furniture. A sale of the old items was stopped by the bishop after it was seen in the paper.There was NOTHING wrong with what was already in the rectory. The finances of the parish were not overflowing and unnecessary spending should have been curtailed.

He never really took part in church affairs, rarely showed his face in the Parish Center and spent so much time on the Road away from his parish that no one was sure who would be saying mass that week. Temporary priests were always coming and going. We hardly ever saw him.

He was the only pastor who had to know immediately the morning after bingo how much money was deposited in the bingo account and in many cases the money was removed ASAP.
When he was asked questions about the finances of St. John's his reply was the "I do NOT have to answer to you or anyone else."

His going was a relief to many people. Perhaps this investigation is for the better. And we all know what "I decline to comment" usually means. Perhaps praying for the parish is more in order. Yours in Christ."

That statement alone should disqualify you and your 'cronies' from serving on any boards or councils at St. Anthony's. It's obvious that you have a serious problem with authority and the hierarchy.

Do you really believe that Father Baxter is just going to sit in the rectory and let you call the shots? LOL!
