Correction

In a March 21 edition, The River Reporter incorrectly stated that a spokesman for the Society of St. John in Shohola disagreed with Bishop Timlin of Scranton regarding the society’s debt. The amount given by the bishop included the $2.9 million mortgage. Auxiliary Bishop John Dougherty, who is the financial overseer for the society, said the society’s current debt is $500,000, excluding their mortgage.

The article also misstated a comment from a spokesman for the society, Father Dominic O’Connor. O’Connor denies that the board resignations were only about money but were also about disagreements over certain liturgical practices followed by the society.
