	Sacred Heart /st. John’s Parishioners Outraged at How Their Church’s Closing Is Being Handled By Robert Olsen Citizens Voice August 27, 2008 http://www.citizensvoice.com/articles/2008/08/27/news/wb_voice.20080827.t.pg2.cv27cdsacredheart_s1.1906475_top6.txt WILKES-BARRE — Disappointment, anger and sadness filled the hearts and minds of Sacred Heart/St. John’s parishioners at they exited St. Stanislaus Kostka Church Tuesday night following a parish meeting to discuss the closing of their church. The meeting, which was closed to the press, was supposed to further address the reasons why the Scranton Diocese made a preliminary recommendation to consolidate the church with St. Stanislaus Kostka. Church officials also were instructed not to comment afterwards. Sacred Heart/St. John’s parishioners, however, were still outraged at how the closing was being handled. Some questioned the rationale behind closing a larger church with many amenities such as handicap-access and safe, accessible parking to keep open a smaller church that doesn’t even provide a restroom.
