An Innocent Request from the Parish, or an Archdiocesan Head Count?

 Today I received this request via Flocknotes: 

"[My parish name] likes to keep its records up to date. [My first name], would you mind filling out your address real quick?

All information shared is completely private and only for [my parish name] administrative purposes."

Before they closed Our Lady of Vilnius I would have completed the form and blithely hit the "Submit" button, but today I wonder whether the Archdiocese is taking a head count of geographic parishioners in anticipation of planning a real estate sell off.

NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade: Is Gay the final frontier of, ahem, tolerance?

How about parishioners left behind by suppressed parishes and churches sold and/or demolished?

Cardinal Dolan is taking some heat from conservative Catholics as he will be Grand Marshall of the first New York St. Patrick's Day Parade to include a gay group marching under its own banner.

Next year representatives of parishes suppressed or churches demolished since 2007 should apply to the committee to march under the banner of their extinguished communities.  We are still here in the Archdiocese of New York, we are still Roman Catholic and we are still orphaned by the loss of our parish families.  Yes, we have step-parishes, but we will be orphans for life.

Next year let's march under a banner reading "The Forgotten Remnant of Our Lady of Vilnius."
