Bishop Joseph Cistone of the Diocese of Saginaw These Last Days News - January 23, 2013

Diocese of Saginaw to Reduce Services at 53 of 109 Churches Across mid-Michigan...

"You will continue, My children, to pray for your bishops. It is through misdirection and loss of grace, because of too few prayers, that they now have set themselves into the darkness.
     "A church in darkness wears a band of death about it.  Remember that, My pastors.  A church in darkness shall close its doors!  But My Church shall not be extinct or destroyed, for the church of man cannot transcend the spirit."
- Jesus, April 17, 1976

Mlive reported on January 20, 2013:

While Diocese of Saginaw officials are saying a reorganization plan doesn’t call for closing any churches yet, about half of the 11-county Catholic organization’s 109 places of worship will see many services end or decrease over the next three years.

The Most Bishop Joseph Cistone, the diocese’s leader, announced the plans during an afternoon press conference in Bay City’s St. Joseph, one of the churches whose regularly-scheduled masses will end in July 2014.

Cistone said the reorganization plan, which will merge parishes, categorizes churches in three categories. Those include:

Of the diocese’s 109 churches, 56 will be classified as parish churches, 24 as churches for additional use, and 29 as churches for occasional use, Cistone said.

The bishop said no building has been sold and any decision to put a church on the real estate market would be up to the parish’s administration.

“They are going to determine the use and ability to maintain these (buildings),” Cistone said. “If they feel, because of a lack of resources, that perhaps it would be best to divest themselves of those buildings, they will make that decision. Some of those churches could be used to serve the community in a different way.”

The bishop said he has not made a decision on downsizing the number of priest personnel. That decision may come before July, when the reorganization plan’s first wave of changes arrive.

Not all of the parishes will feel the reorganization by then, though. A second wave of changes is scheduled by July 2014 and the final wave by July 2015, he said.

The move will affect 108,601 Catholics that count themselves members of the diocese, which oversees churches in Saginaw, Bay, Midland, Arenac, Clare, Gladwin, Gratiot, Huron, Isabella, Sanilac and Tuscola counties.

Church leaders last year announced the reorganization plan in response to declining membership. Since 1988, membership in the diocese has shrunk by about 32 percent, or 51,399 people.

Cistone’s decision comes following months of self-evaluation. Representatives from parishes across the 11 counties participated in surveys, formed committees and offered suggestions for the reorganization.

Parishioners during Saturday and Sunday mass were informed of their respective church’s fate, along with the plans for partner facilities, but the broad plan remained unknown to the public until the afternoon address.

"When one becomes blind of spirit, you walk then in darkness. A house and a church in darkness, My children, wears a band of death about it! A church that falls into heresy and continued error will close its doors.
     "I have asked you, My suffering little children, to remain in your parish churches. Pray and be an example. Do not abandon My Son's Houses in your district. For while the doors are open--and My Son is the door though thieves have entered, and robbers--My Son is the door, and if you come through that door you will be received with the light."
- Our Lady of the Roses, July 15, 1978

Our Lady of the Roses' Awesome Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995: 

THE  GREAT  APOSTASY
"Do not accept the fallacy that any man upon earth and mankind are gods. There is but one God. And no man shall set himself above his Master. O My children, cannot you recognize the signs of your times? The great apostasy is upon you!" - Our Lady, December 7, 1976 

USING  RANK  TO  DESTROY
"Those who have the highest places in My Son's Church are now using their rank to destroy the truth. You cannot build on the carnal nature of mankind, the fallen nature of mankind.
     "You must now, My children, read the direction given you by Saint John. He was given the prophecy of your times. You are in those days, My children, the days of apostasy." - Our Lady, October 6, 1975 

THE  SWORD
"Mankind shall feel a sword upon his world. The Eternal Father has endured your apostasy, your arrogance, your heresy much too long! As an errant and ungrateful generation given to sin and abominations of the flesh, you shall be forced to your knees by trial." - St. Michael, July 15, 1975 

TRAITORS
O ye of little faith, pride and arrogance in worldly knowledge! But you have closed the door to My sheep! Scattered them, become traitors to the Seat of Peter! I say unto you: You cannot understand, with all of your knowledge and your pride, the ways of the Eternal Father! There is a plan for each and every one of you in Heaven. You shall receive a just punishment for your arrogance, your apostasy, and your destruction of souls." - Jesus, October 6, 1978 

UNHOLINESS,  PAGANISM,  IMPURITY
"For I say unto you now, all bishops and cardinals, all that is rotten will fall. You consort with the enemies of your God for money and power, and they are waiting to pick your bones clean. You will not bring about a conversion of those who are presently apostate by compromising your Faith or changing the construction of the exterior lines of My Church; and by that I mean the physical appearance and the manner in which you conduct the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
     "Many are giving My Body in a manner that can only be called blasphemy. Many are accepting My Body in the Eucharist in a manner that defames the Divinity, and also promotes unholiness, paganism, and impurity of heart and actions during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass." - Jesus, May 26, 1979 

TURNED  AWAY
"Parents, protect your homes and your children. Give them a firm foundation of faith, for there will be many tears and gnashing of teeth in woe set upon the world by the agents of hell. Many catastrophes of nature, accidents that are not accidents, murders, robberies, fornication, immorality, and apostasy. These, My children, are the fruits of a generation that has turned away from their God." - Jesus, June 10, 1978 

MUCH  DISCORD
"Do you understand Me, My children?  I ask you not to abandon My Son's Church in the crisis of Faith* now, but to keep the Bark of Peter afloat.  I ask you not to remain silent when you meet with wrongdoing, but to speak out and act to correct a situation that is offensive to your God and destructive to your soul." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979 

* "We are at a moment of a crisis of the Faith, a crisis which has repercussions indeed on other domains, on our whole religious, moral and social life." (Pope Paul VI, Discourse of June 29, 1971, Documentation catholique, 1971, col. 706). 

STAY  AND  FIGHT
"My children, you will all recognize the faces of evil.  Satan has entered into the highest ranks of My Church.  Pray now for your priests:  your bishops, your cardinals, your clergy.  Many prayers are needed, for many are on, now, the road to perdition and taking many others with them.
     "My children, do not cast aside your sacramentals.  They are your armor in the days ahead.  Do not desert My Church.  Do not ignore it by the man who has stood there in ignorance or in pride and changed it until it will almost be unrecognizable.  I am still with you, My children.  Do not leave.  You must stay and fight.  In this manner, My children, shall the sheep be separated from the goats.  It is a form of cleansing." - Jesus, July 15, 1977 

THE  HIGHEST  PLACES
"Go forward, My child, now, and bring this message to the world: satan has entered into the House of God. He rules now from the highest places. The world and the Church of God is in deep darkness. Those who are in command—many have fallen away. Pray, My children, much, for with your prayers and sacrifices they, too, can be recovered." - Our Lady, April 13, 1974

Place a Crucifix on the outside of your front and back door...  The only real protection against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84) (Testimonies of lives and homes saved by the crucifixes.)  https://www.tldm.org/news/crucifix.htm 

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." -  Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man.  I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992  
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976 
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899.  It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.  Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htmhttps://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now!  (Order Form)  Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it. 
    Read the Bible cover to cover.  If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days.  I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time.  A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times.  Wow!

Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."

Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
