HAZLETON, Pa. - A couple who withheld a donation to their church, leaving a note to protest the closure of a Roman Catholic high school instead, were suspended by the pastor.
"You raise your hand to strike at the parish that has nourished your faith through the years. That says volumes," the Rev. Thomas Cappelloni of Our Lady of Grace Church in Hazleton wrote in a letter to the couple. He said the parishioners should have talked to him about the closure of Bishop Hafey High School.
Cappelloni said that he was temporarily suspending the couple's registration at the parish "as long as you willfully seek to harm Our Lady of Grace by your nonsupport" and that the termination would be permanent if they did not reconsider.
