HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) – It’s been an entire year since the parishioners of Holyoke’s Mater Dolorosa began protesting the closing of their church.

In recognition of the one year mark, a celebration was held Saturday night in Chicopee.

Earlier this month the parishioners agreed to leave the church building while the Vatican investigates their appeal.

But the protestors told 22News that doesn’t mean they’re giving up the fight.
