Archbishop Etienne Partners Proposed Family Update

Dear Friends,

Let me follow up the archbishop’s message with some additional information for your consideration. The proposed family of Assumption, St. Bridget, and Our Lady of the Lake parishes has been changed to now also include St. Catherines parish. This was decided at a meeting last week of the presbyteral council that I am a member, and with various other leadership groups in the archdiocese. The rationale for this change is described briefly in the document below, which also describes the process of offering feedback around this modification. I will be meeting with our parish consultative bodies soon to outline how we can best solicit your input on this proposed change. Your voice matters on this, and is one I will always try to represent and support as best I can in this process.

Please feel welcome to contact me directly if you would like to discuss this or have any other questions. Let’s stay united in prayer for a positive outcome to this plan for the future of parish life in our local church. Thanks much!
Blessings of peace,

Fr. William Heric, Pastor
