Meeting

The speaker will be Fr. Robert J. Marrone, the pastor of the Community of St. Peter in Cleveland, Ohio. Fr. Marrone was excommunicated for keeping his parish community alive when his bishop ordered the parish closed. The excommunication took place after the Vatican agreed with Fr. Marrone and ordered St. Peter Church to be reopened because it should not have been closed.
