Also, the Archdiocese no longer has the 'Needy Parish Fund". This means that if one our poorer parishes needs extra money for expenses (like roof repairs, unexpected expenses etc.) the Archdiocese will no longer help them. Why? This is the Archdiocese plan to squeeze "under performing" parishes into closing. Heartless. yes. The Catholic way? Absolutly not! Archbishop Wuerl need to answer to this distainful plan. Meanwhile, the Archdiocese is adding to its own staff, disregarding the needs of parishes. You can give directly to your parish or any needy parish. Just state that none of this money is to go to the Archdiocese.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
