Suburban Philadelphia Church To Close In November
SAN RAFAEL, CUBA – SEPTEMBER 23: A parishioner follows
along in her bible during a mass in a mission house the day after
Pope Francis finished his visit to the island with encouraging words
for the faithful on September 23, 2015 in San Rafael, Cuba. As
Cuban church leaders continue to reach out to communities the mission
houses serve as churches in many rural parts of Cuba due to the lack
of churches in the communist country.
FALSINGTON, Pa. (AP) — Catholic officials say a suburban Philadelphia church that needs more than $1 million in repairs will be closed in November.
The archdiocese of Philadelphia announced Sunday that Saint Joseph the Worker Church in Fallsington will no longer serve as a worship site
of Saint Francis Cabrini Parish “and will close as a Roman Catholic Church.”Officials said Saint Joseph the Worker Church needs repairs to the roof and heating system, which it share with an attached school
that is not in use. They also said the annual cost of maintaining the
combined buildings is about $121,000, and the parish had a deficit of
about $240,000 last year.For full story go to: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/
