Framing the 3
Framing the Vision We are blessed, and each of you is a part of that blessing. As we move forward, it is my hope that each member of our grouping will come to know the other better, and in doing so, strengthen our community as a whole. In this task, each person is important. I pray that we see the importance of each person and know the holiness in each of our everyday lives. I am so excited for our future together. 4
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 2021 our 3 parishes will merge into one new parish. The current parishes will cease and we will become one new entity. 5

Keeping the Parishioner Information Up-T o-Date Why is updating your information important? When people move and do not notify the parish that they will no longer be attending, it throws off parish statistics and budgeting, and may even cost the parish money. Early next year, a parish census will be sent out to all families in an effort to update parishioner information. 13
