| In December Fr. Mike Ewert, O.F.M., was reassigned in the Franciscan community and Fr. Tom Aldworth, G.E.M., former associate, returned to assume the leadership of St. Anthony. That same year, the parish held an open forum to discuss parish interest and goals. In addition, after 30 years of sacrifice by the parishioners, the parish debt was paid. Our pastor, Fr. Tom, O.F.M. became a published author. His books, titled "Shaping a Healthy Religion" and "Fashioning a Healthier Religion", were written from experiences at St. Anthony's parish 1978-81. The Franciscans found it necessary to leave the parish and turned over its administration to priests from the Cleveland Diocese in June 1993. On Sunday, May 30, the parish celebrated a special liturgy to bid farewell to our friars from St. Anthony of Padua. A reception followed to share memories and bid God speed to our priests from the Franciscan Order that had served our parish so selflessly and with so much devotion over the years. |
