IN OTHER NEWS:

A young lady came to the parish for a blessing before embarking on a trip. (That is cool news in and of itself!) But her trip is going to be an interesting one. She will be traveling on bike from Maine to California stopping along the way to help build affordable housing with an organization called Bike and Build. It is not a Christian movement but a worthwhile project. According to their mission statement, "Bike & Build envisions future generations who are committed to a lifetime of civic engagement and who inspire individuals and communities to create fair, decent housing for all Americans."

In a much more Catholic specific mode - The King's Men is an organization to help men in their Christian/Catholic calling. According to their mission statement, "Under Christ the King’s universal call to serve, we as men, pledge to unite and build up other men in the mold of leader, protector, and provider through education, formation and action." They also work hard at eliminating porn in men's lives and in our communities. Read more here.

From the Diocese of Cleveland Enewsletter, "WOIO TV19 News in Cleveland aired a story in its 11:00 p.m. newscast on Tuesday, June 21,2011 on the sale of five Diocesan properties to White Hat management. White Hat operates charter schools and was already leasing at three of the locations at the time the sales were consummated.

Reporter Paul Joncich used these terms to describe the transactions, "the Diocese only received pennies on the dollar," Catholics were described as "frustrated" by the sales, and the five churches were sold "for a song." Nothing could be further from the truth." Read more here.
