The Cleveland Catholic Diocese will make an announcement Tuesday morning regarding the future of many local Catholic churches.

Bishop Richard Lennon will address the media on the actions he will take with regard to recent decrees from the Congregation for the Clergy in Rome.

The announcement will take place at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist on Superior Avenue in Cleveland at 10 a.m.

You can watch a live stream of the announcement on newsnet5.com or using the newsnet5 app.

Last month, 13 area Catholic churches were shut down by the Diocese for financial reasons. The Vatican overruled the closings, saying that Bishop Lennon failed to follow church law.
