YAKIMA, Wash. — The economic meltdown has reached the Roman Catholic Church.

Citing a significant drop in investment income as well as the costs associated with caring for retired priests, the Diocese of Yakima announced a series of budget cutbacks today, including the layoffs of eight directors of diocesan ministries.

Eight more support positions — both full-time and part-time — are also being eliminated or combined to reduce costs.
