On September 15, 2017, the Diocese of Helsinki announced that most of the the buildings of the Diocesan centre of Stella Maris, which has been consecrated to Our Lady, will be torn down (click here for information in English). Today the Bishop has provided some more information about the finances of the Diocese as well as the future of Stella Maris. Below is the information from Bishop Teemu Sippo SCJ in English. |
Dear Members of the Diocese,
Some preliminary information has been made available through the Diocesan magasine Fides and the Diocese's e-media regarding the Diocesan centre Stella Maris and also about the salaries of the priests in the Diocese. It is right that I provide some more information about these matters, so that we can avoid unnecessary rumours and misunderstandings.
