August 23, 2009

Bishop Richard Lennon has announced his decision on the name of the soon to be established parish resulting from the merger of St. George and Our Lady of Perpetual Help parishes.

The bishop states in a letter dated August 14 th, that he is very much inclined to name the new parish St. Caismir. The bishop’s letter also indicated a willingness to meet with Fr. Bacevicius and Fr. Kijauskas and a small group of parishioners to hear their input and explain his choice before making the decision final.

So it would appear that one St. Casimir church in Cleveland will close, and a new St. Casimir will open on Neff Road in October of this year.

The Parish Joining Committee is planning a get-together for the members of St. George and Our Lady of Perpetual Help parishes. The exact date, time and location will be announced shortly, but it will be somewhere in the Cleveland area during the month of September. Keep listening to the Lithuanian Voice for details.

The next meeting of the joint parish subcommittees will take place on Tuesday, August 25th at 7:00 pm in the lower hall at Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Subcommittee representatives will give an update of the work they have done thus far.

John Yagoda will be offering another class in making fused glass jewelry on Saturday, September 19th, from 11:00 to 2:00 at Lithuanian Village. Contact Ruta at the Club for details and reservations.
