Restore Liturgy at St. Anthony's Church in Monongahela, PA.

The Issue

St. Anthony's Church has been in existence since 1904 and has a spiritual family that wants to worship together. The Diocese has suppressed worship at the church, and as of May 27, 2012, the church no longer has weekend or Holy Day masses. St. Anthony's has a vital, solvent and apostolically-fruitful parish family with important community outreach. By eliminating worship at this Church, Bishop Zubik is going against the will of the people and is causing damage to the souls of the congregation. We want Bishop Zubik to keep two Catholic churches open in Monongahela, PA. We want St. Anthony's members to be able to worship in the church that God blessed and members built and supported for so many years.
