WHEELING The Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston wants its members to have a voice in its present and future. To do that, the Most Rev. Mark Brennan, Diocesan bishop, has reestablished a group that will give laypeople that opportunity.
The Diocesan Pastoral Council is back and will hold its first meeting in nearly 15 years this month. Diocese spokesman Tim Bishop said the faithful deserve the chance to help move the church forward.
“You can’t go wrong involving the laypeople,” he said. “It’s their church, too. This is all of our church. The church belongs to all of the faithful, so getting them involved and seeking their help and running ideas by them is a great thing.”

Like other churches across the country, the Catholic church in West Virginia struggled during the coronavirus pandemic to keep doors open or continue its usual community support until being bolstered by the federal government’s Paycheck Protection Act.
The Wheeling-Catholic diocese drew down $1,996,372 from the federal program meant to help businesses keep their workforce employed during the covid-19 crisis. The federal money also went to diocese rent, utilities and interest on mortgages and existing debt.

“Learning that religious organizations were eligible for the federal government’s Payroll Protection Program, the Diocese applied for that relief and received it, not only for diocesan operations but for most of its parishes and schools,” Mark Brennan, bishop of the Wheeling-Catholic diocese wrote in a letter accompanying a financial audit.

After a lengthy discussion, the Wyoming House of Representatives gave initial approval to a bill that increases the amount of maintenance money state parks can use.
Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Committee Chairwoman Jamie Flitner said last year s surge in park visitation led to the request. And our state parks really felt that, especially those near our borders. We just didn t see this as doing great harm in allowing them to use a little bit more of the funds that they generate through those fees by those visitors to go towards the preservation of those assets, said Flitner
