The Archdiocese of Chicago announced Friday they would be consolidating two more parishes in the western suburbs following a series of similar consolidations in the Chicago area.
St. Bernardine Parish in Forest Park and St. Luke Parish in River Forest will be united “as one parish with two worship sites, a new name, one pastor and one pastoral team,” the archdiocese said in a statement.
Father Stan Kuca will serve as pastor of the newly combined parish, which has not yet been named, the archdiocese said.
The St. Luke site will serve as the parish’s home base, and their will be no changes to the St. Luke school, the archdiocese said.
