It's a tight-knit bunch here, some 200 families, which is why they say it's so hard for them to understand why their home church is closing.

Despite its size, parishioner Bob Ferguson and his wife say they meet all their financial obligations, in fact they say they exceed them.

"As far as parish priests, we have utilized retired priests in the past and they love to come here because we provide a home, we run all the other things, they just come in and do the liturgy, so that isn't a reason either. I'm bewildered by the decision. I hate to say it, but I just think it's a shortsighted decision," said Bob Ferguson.

The last mass at the Church will be on Sunday June 29.
