Vatican Denies Appeals for 2 Local Groups of Catholic Churches

Two groups of Catholic churches that are fighting against mergers just lost their battle after the Vatican denied their appeals.

That means St. Austin will merge with St. Bridget's and St. John's Church in St. Paul will merge with St. Pascal Baylon. Members had rallied against the mergers this summer.

Two other mergers are still waiting to hear about their appeals, including Holy Cross in Northeast Minneapolis.
