4/18/08: Letter to Bishop Joseph Galante, sent by parishioners of St. Mary's in Malaga, dated April 10:

Your Excellency:

We, as parishioners of St. Mary's Parish (Malaga), united with our Pastor and Parish Council, are writing this letter for two purposes: (1) to appeal to you, Bishop Galante, to reconsider any decision to merge our parish; and (2) to safeguard our rights as parishioners under canon law.

As parishioners of St. Mary's, we are very concerned about the future of our parish. We are an active and vibrant parish.
