Difference Between Parish and Church

A parish is a territory (geographic region), with people and a priest(s). Churches are sacred buildings designated for divine worship. In January 2020 our three parishes will merge into one new parish. The current parishes will cease and we will become one new entity.

Difference Between Parish and Church

In the future we will have to determine how best to use all of the existing buildings of the three current parishes, including churches. This process will include input from staff, advisory councils and parishioners.

After the merger is finalized we may also need to reconsider the Mass schedule. Parishioners will be involved in feedback on any changes.

At the time of merger the new parish will receive a new name and the church buildings will retain their current names.

A merger means that the three

parishes in our Grouping join together to create one new parish.

The new parish functions and ministers as one.
