1-Sep-06. Bishop stands ground. Calgary Sun, 2.

Bishop Fred Henry, the leader of Calgary's Catholics, boycotted yesterday's Calgary Catholic school district mass to mark the beginning of the school year. He was following through on a vow he made after trustees allowed local Catholic schools to continue using casinos and bingos for fundraising. Henry has said in the past if the board does not comply with his wishes he could pull priests out of local schools.
