Hometown Heartache

My favorite online news website, NewsNet5 posted a video about Lorain, Ohio that starts with a shot of the beloved Lorain Lighthouse but is actually about the closing of half of the city's Catholic churches. I think I've been to most of them. I wonder if I could name them all?

It's pretty sad that so many are closing in Lorain, but 12 is really a ridiculous amount for a city that size. Some are within walking distance of each other. The interesting thing about Lorain, the International City, is that a few of the churches celebrate at least one of their masses in a language that isn't English. I hope that isn't totally lost when the churches close or are consolidated.
