| St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson |
St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson has posted a letter on the archdiocese’s website telling Catholics about the “return of St. Stanislaus to again be a Roman Catholic parish.”
Carlson writes:
Over the past year, since arriving in St. Louis, I have met with the members of the board of directors of St. Stanislaus to find a way in which the parish could be re-established while, at the same time, addressing the fears expressed by many of you over the last seven years that the parish would be closed and its property sold with the proceeds being used for other purposes within the archdiocese.
The letter goes over much of the same ground that parishioners at St. Stanislaus heard last Sunday from their own attorneys, and will hear again this Sunday. The church is scheduled to vote on how to direct their board to respond to Carlson’s offer on Aug. 8.
For more on the details of the legal restructuring of St. Stanislaus, check out the P-D’s Keep the Faith column this Saturday.
