CLUSTERING IN CLEVELAND
The Akron Beacon Journal reports on the ceremonies held to close Assumption and Immaculate Conception churches and merge the congregations into one church named Our Lady Queen of Peace. The article also covers the closing of St. Jude and joining of its parishioners with Resurrection of Our Lord. The outdoor statue of St. Jude now rests in the grounds of Resurrection.
Both transitions appear to have gone smoothly. The article reports on tears and regret but also resignation that these changes must come.
