It was suggested to Bishop Robert Pipta that the transfer of the Cathedral from its current location to what is currently known as Holy Spirit Church in Parma be accompanied by “town-hall” listening sessions for our lay faithful. These have been scheduled. Below you’ll find the schedule. While the locations in each region certainly don’t make easy the travel of all our faithful (no live-streaming is planned for these), please keep in mind that Bishop Robert's parish visits have provided opportunities to have similar meetings with the parish faithful. A far-flung Eparchy like ours requires so much to happen at the parish level. In November, Bishop Robert hopes to begin his next round of visits based on a system of half the communities in one Church year and the other half in the next, and so on. These visits may be a bit more formal than previous and can afford the opportunity for parish-level “town-halls.”
While clergy may also be in attendance, these town-hall meetings are meant to be sessions for Bishop Robert to hear from and listen to the lay-faithful. We kindly ask that questions and comments be limited to 3 minutes. Ed Kiss, Eparchial Finance Officer, will also be present in case any questions arise related to finances. Bishop Robert envisions these sessions in the church immediately following a liturgical service.
