The idea to form 51 families of parishes was conceived years ago amid a priest shortage, and is designed to help the diocese become more missionary. The Deacon says the transition will help spread resources and keep the doors of the churches open. โThis allows us to keep the parishes open with fewer clergy and thatโs our goal,โ Houghton said. Officials say the transition will happen in two waves: one in January 2021 and the second in July.
