of St. Columban is being
suppressed by the Diocese of
London.
The church is slated to be
closed and the parish
suppressed by Pentecost (May)
of 2005. Several decisions will
have to be made including the
dispersal of the church
building and chattels, the fate
of the St. Columban soccer
fields, the fate of both the
present St. Columban
Cemetery and the old
cemetery, as well as several
other issues.
In spite of the valiant efforts
of the parishioners over the
past seven years to keep the
small but vibrant faith
community alive, including
recent meetings with the
Deanery Implementation
Team, the decision of
suppression has been
announced, and there seems to
be no hope for the future of the
community.
