St. Louis archbishop ousts Polish parish

St. Louis’ Roman Catholic archbishop has issued a "decree of suppression" of St. Stanislaus Kostka, ending the historic church’s standing as a Catholic parish in the St. Louis Archdiocese.

The traditional Polish parish, which is at odds with the archdiocese over control of the parish’s property and assets, is appealing the suppression, along with last year’s interdict and last month’s excommunication of its lay board of directors and priest.

It's sad, but predictable, that this was going to happen. The question really is what will the trustees do now? They have 9.5M in assets. They are no longer affiliated with the archdiocese. The only solutions I can see is to submit to the bishop or to maintain themselves as a charitable help for Polish Catholics.
