The merger decree went out publicly in the bulletin October 7-8, 2023. It contains very important information regarding the upcoming merger of our parishes. In order to help provide clarity and a broader vision for what this looks like, we invite you to listen to the meeting as it was live-streamed via Facebook. Questions submitted at either meeting will be answered through our Beacons Newsletter in a bulletin insert & will be shared online as well.
The parishes of the St. Henry Family have been working together for nearly 20 years which puts us in a position to officially merge as one parish sooner than many other church families.
Merger can be a scary word if not understood correctly. Please remember merging does not mean closure. As long as we are willing to support and care for our church buildings, they will stand as they have stood for so many years as places of prayer and worship and where the Lord dwells in our midst.
