Archbishop Raymond Burke told St. Stanislaus Kostka parishioners March 28 that if a restructuring plan there is in effect "you can count on my fullest support for your parish."Full story is here.
The Archbishop’s message — that bringing the corporate structure of the parish into compliance with Church law will not result in a closure of the parish or seizure of the parish’s funds — often was hard to hear over some people who shouted out while he spoke.
Several people carried signs opposing the restructuring.
Archbishop Burke came to the church in North St. Louis to celebrate Midday Prayer, explain the reasons for the incorporation change and answer questions.
In an earlier letter to parishioners, the Archbishop expressed his pride in St. Stanislaus as a personal parish for Polish-speaking faithful and Catholics of Polish heritage in the archdiocese. The parish formed in 1880 is known as the base of operations for most of the Polish-American activities in the St. Louis area.
