SOUTH EUCLID, OH (WOIO) –
Parishioners of the Saint Margaret Mary Church located at 4217 Bluestone Road in South Euclid, informed Bishop Richard G. Lennon of the Diocese of Cleveland that they have begun proceedings to appeal his decision not to reopen their church.
Bishop Lennon was informed of the appeal on Sunday, April 23rd, 2012.
It was widely reported on March 7, 2012 that the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy has issued 13 decrees calling for the reopening of the churches who appealed their closure. St. Margaret Mary was listed as one of the thirteen to be reopened. The Congregation specifically ruled that the Bishop erred both legally and procedurally in his church closing actions.
