A rigatoni dinner was held this past Wednesday evening at the WHS Alumni Center. The dinner was a fund raiser for Wellsville's Committee to Save The Immaculate Conception Church. Organizers say it was a very successful sell-out event. After expenses, all the proceeds from the event go to the legal fund for the appeals being filed to reverse the Diocese of Youngstown Bishop Murry's decision to merge the Wellsville parish with St. Aloysius in East Liverpool and close the Wellsville church.
Wellsville parishioners are willing to agree to the merger but are hoping to keep the Immaculate Conception Church functional as a worship site in the combined parish.

I find it interesting with the merger that St.Aloysius will retain its name in the new parish, Holy Trinity. Who made that decision ? Why did we vote for a new name ? The picture is becoming even clearer as to why St.Ann's decided to supress.
GREAT WORK FUND RAISING COMMITTEE. MAYBE WE COULD REPEAT THIS AT THE END OF AUGUST. DINNER WAS DELCIOUS, FELLOWSHIP WAS EVEN BETTER. WELLSVILLE PEOPLE HAVE VERY BIG HEARTS. IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH CAN BE DONE IN SUCH A SHORT TIME SPAN WHEN PEOPLE WORK TOGETHER FOR A GREAT CAUSE. I PRAY THAT WE KEEP OUR CATHOLIC COMMUNITY.
