	Panel Recommends Closing Two Schoharie County Churches By Mark Robarge Daily Gazette April 7, 2008 http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2008/apr/07/0407_churches/ ALBANY — Two Schoharie County churches have been recommended for closing as part of a restructuring initiative within the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese. According to an announcement distributed at Sunday's Mass at St. Anna's parish in Summit, a local planning group including parishes in Schoharie, Otsego and Delaware counties has recommended that St. Anna's, as well as St. Joseph's in Schoharie, be closed under the two-year initiative, "Called to Be Church." St. Mary's parish in the Otsego County village of Schenevus was also recommended for closing by the local panel. Those recommendations will be passed along to Bishop Howard Hubbard and another panel will review the recommendations, with Hubbard scheduled to announce a final determination early next year. Diocesan spokesman Kenneth Goldfarb said this morning he believed the diocese had not formally received the recommendation from the local planning group, but said the timetable for considering the recommendation remains unchanged.
