Revision as of 16:23, 2 February 2009
Today is: October 31, 2024 Welcome to the historical branch of this website featuring odds and ends of information and photographs of parts of Brooklyn Centre. Started as an offshoot of the genealogy section, the Wiki was a place to store and organize tidbits of information found while researching various families residing in the area. The heart of Brooklyn Centre is at the intersection of West 25th Street and Denison Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. First settled in the early 1800's, Brooklyn Centre's history hasn't often been the focus of interest for Cleveland historians, who pay more attention to what happened on the east side of the Cuyahoga River. Nevertheless, this area has it's own story that shouldn't be overlooked or forgotten. |
PARISH IN JEOPARDY!
St. Barbara's is in need of prayers, mass attendance, and new parishioners! Dear visitor to the Brooklyn WIKI, As of this date the cluster team has finished its duty as directed by Bishop Lennon. They have diligently fulfilled their task and we are grateful for their efforts. THis has been a long and difficult process. We regret to announce that the recommendation has been made that the parishes of St. Barbara and Blessed Sacrament be closed. Keeping that in mind, let us remember these points:
What can YOU DO? First and foremost, please offer your prayers for our Bishop and our parish. Pray to our late Holy Father John Paul II and ask his intercession. If you are not active or unhappy in your parish, there is no reason not to consider rejoining St. Barbara. Attend our weekend Masses if possible. Remember, its all about the numbers! If we were able to mobilize a significant number of people, we would have a very strong case to make to the Diocese. This is NOT OVER UNTIL ITS OVER! Can you imagine our dear parents and grandparents knowing that every penny they sacrificed to build and maintain this house of God may be lost forever with the stroke of the pen? Is this what we want? Or do we really even care? Think about it. Our City is definitely losing its most precious treasures, and even though St. Barbara is small, it is like a little gem in the heart of a neighborhood that is in the midst of rebirth. Currently there are about three hundred + families registered. We need to get the word out to former parishioners and all interested to come back to church and register or the parish may possibly close. The mandate from the Diocese is to close two parishes out of the five clustered: St. Barbara's, St. Boniface, Blessed Sacrament, St. Rocco and St. Michael the Archangel. We don't want to lose our church! New Parishioner Information Form
