The first act that this organization has undertaken is to submit a “recourse letter” to the Bishop. This letter cites Canonical Law and is the legal basis for a request that the Bishop rescind his decision to close St. James. This letter was drafted by FSJP members who have a legal background, vetted by other interested members and signed by six FSJP members who are also members of Parish Council. This letter was separate from the appeal letter that was submitted on behalf of the Parish. A copy of this letter, along with a follow-up letter, will soon be available on our website.
