Burlington, Vermont - January 14, 2005
The future of Vermont's Catholic Churches could become clearer this weekend.
The Roman Catholic Diocese projects the number of priests will drop by half in 10 years. Officials have launched a study to deal with the problem --examining the state's 130 parishes. Plans called for consolidation -- and the closure of some churches.
Bishop Kenneth Angell is inviting all priests, deacons and assigned representatives from each local church to discuss possible solutions to the priest shortage at a meeting Saturday in Barre.
