Since the Archdiocese delivered the news on April 11, 2021 of the future closing of our parish, we know there has been much grief, anger, sadness, despair, and a sense of loss. There have also been many questions and desires for answers and accountability. We share these same emotions, desires, and questions with you.
Below is a collection of documents related to the Strategic Planning Process, listed with the most recent addition bolded at the top. To join the discussion, we invite you to read and comment on the St. Patrick's Future page on the Connection Board.
