My mom's cousin Susan Hudak, her brother George and their sister, Sister Mary Rock (Sisters of Notre Dame from Chardon) from Halstead Avenue was a long time member. As a child growing up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, we often visited them and attended your church. Although I was just a child, I thought that it was the most beautiful church that I had ever been in. I haven't been in the Lakewood area since Susan passed away and attended the funeral mass there but I wanted you to know that I feel your loss. I was working at our corporate office in Bedford Heights and thought that I woukd look up where I might find Sister Rock and I was very fortunate to call the parish and find out where she was located. I was very blessed that they were able to help me out.Pam Gaurich, Russellton PAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060591818681168325.post-28245555679969880442011-02-23T20:38:11.227-05:002011-02-23T20:38:11.227-05:00Thank you for posting these photos.

I just don't understand the point of taking away all the things that make Ss.

I had been a member of Sts. Cyril & Methodius my entire life (over 50 years). This whole situation has made me leave the parish permanently and possibly the Catholic religion. <br /><br />To the second poster, I believe that all of the members of the former Sts. Cyril & Methodius Parish understand how much St Roses is missed by those who loved it and it's history and wish that you did not have to go through your parish closing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060591818681168325.post-66722918151505441402010-05-09T21:27:47.527-04:002010-05-09T21:27:47.527-04:00How about a little bit of remembrance for St. Rose...How about a little bit of remembrance for St. Rose as well?

He only has 2 yrs to go until retirement, so why transfer him now? Makes no sense...and of course the bishop offers no explanation. He just gives his decision and we are to follow. Same with the name of the parish. The bishop asked us for 3 name choices...Transfiguration was NOT one of the top 3 voted on by the 2 parishes that were forced to merge. It was the bishop's choice. More proof that he really doesn't care what the people want. And now we get to take on St Rose's debt, which I have heard rumored is around $2 million. Interesting that he didn't merge us with St Hedwigs even though they are right across the street...and they have money in the bank. All about the money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
