“Our Children Deserve an Answer.” The Adults Holding the Sign Owe It.

PARMA, Ohio — A protest sign outside Saint Sava Cathedral on Sunday said the parish's children deserve an answer. They do. The Serbian school, the folk dancing and the Divine Liturgy were never taken from them by the Church.

Protesters standing on the grass beside Ridgewood Drive, with signs reading Our children deserve an answer, a matching sign in Serbian, We will never give up, Justice will prevail, Faith over fear, and Honk to support; faces obscured
Signs on Ridgewood Drive near Saint Sava Cathedral, Parma, on the morning of Sunday, September 20, 2026. Faces obscured by Orthodox Integrity.
