R.C. Archdiocese of New York announces church closings

The announcement and a link to the list in Realignment Announcement Decisions from the Archdiocesan website (it’s loading real slow right now).

The closings as summed up in the NY Times in N.Y. Archdiocese Announces Parish Closings.

There’s two St. Stanislaus parishes on the list, one in Port Jervis, one in Pine Island. The Pine Island parish will in effect disappear and merge into another parish.

Our Lady of Vilnius is not on the list, anywhere, thankfully.

(UPDATE 1) The Our Lady of Vilnius, NYC blog notes that 1010 WINS is reporting Our Lady of Vilnius will be closed as well (as a footnote non-the-less). Stay tuned.

(UPDATE 2) The NY Sun states that it confirmed the closing of Our Lady of Vilnius with Archdiocesan officials. See N.Y. Archdiocese Will Close 10 Parishes.
