CLEVELAND, March 14 (UPI) -- Catholic Church officials say a round of closings and consolidation will result in a net loss of 52 parishes next year in the Diocese of Cleveland.

Local church officials were being notified of the plan Saturday, WKYC-TV, Cleveland, reported. Cleveland Bishop Richard Lennon announced Saturday that the changes would be effective June 30, 2010.

Of the dioceses' 224 parishes, 29 are to be closed and 41 are to merge with neighboring parishes, resulting in the establishment of 18 new combined parishes. The new parishes will probably have new names, the TV station said.

Pastors were to read the bishop's special delivery letter to congregants Saturday evening and Sunday morning.

The Diocese of Cleveland scheduled a news conference for Sunday morning to discuss details of the reorganization plan, which is a consequence of a shortage of clergy, falling collections from parishioners and changing demographics, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported.
