Parishioners Officially Appeal the Decree That Closes the Church
Parishioners Officially Appeal the Decree That Closes the Church
On Tuesday, February 1, 2016, our group of parishioners started the official process of appealing the decree to close the former St. George Church on April 3, 2016. We do not intend to appeal the separate decree that was issued regarding the closing of the parish. The appeal process has several levels; starting at the Diocese, then to the Vatican before the Congregation for the Clergy, and the Apostolic Signatura. The parishioners have been in contact with canon lawyers in Rome who are prepared to represent them. You can be an integral part of the appeal process by donating to the Save St. George Church campaign on GoFundMe.com: www.gofundme.com/savestgeorgechurch It is necessary to show there is financial support to “Reopen & Restore” our church. We need your help. Over the next few weeks, we will be planning another “Town Hall” meeting to answer questions and provide additional information. There are more fundraisers being planned as well.
