Heh,

"I wouldn't be surprised if they send a priest who speaks french to the remaining parish so the haitans can still have french mass."

Heh, parish? Waltham's got 5 of them (well, 4 after St. Joseph's closes).

Time will tell. The Archdiocese spelled out what would happen in other communites where French churches were closing but didn't do so for St. Joseph's. I'm wondering if they are going to just leave people on their own (perhaps in the grand scheme of Catholics in the city the Haitian population isn't large enough to worry about).

Ah well - I'm sure the residents will speak up about it, either way.
