Six of eleven Northeast Ohio churches ordered reopened by the Vatican are now accepting worshippers. Father Joseph Workman's Saint James church is among those who successfully appealed Cleveland Bishop Richard Lennon's order to closed the churches. Lennon cited declining membership and finances, as well as a shortage of priests.
