"the same can't be said for 40 other parishes in the diocese, which will close," said matt breen. here's an example of the reorganizatio n: in this cluster the red dots represent parishes in sanborn, primghar, sutherland and sioux rapids, which would close in favor of parishes in hartley and spencer which will stay o en. closing a parish doesn't mean the church will close. instead, the diocese will move those churches to "oratory" status. mass will no longer be celebrated at those sites, but they can be used for catholic weddings and funerals. "what this does is it let us do the hard work now," said rev. brent lingle, director of pastoral planning. "we're going to know where we're going at least for the next 10 years. rather than, every year, a parish wondering 'i wonder if year. i wonder if we'll have a priest?'" lingle says the proposed plan gives stability to the diocese, and the parishes, for the next ten years. >> now that the draft plan has been ininoduced, each pastor in the 108 existing parishes will foror a leadership team including lay people of parish. they'll get feedback on the plan from parishioners. that feedback will be forwarded to the diocese, which can make adjustments to the plan. the plan goes into effect in july of 2017. some siouxland 8th graders got a lesson in over-engineering thursday.

"they will stay open. but, they will be reorganized into four "clusters". each cluster will have a pastor and an associate to celebrate mass at all of the sites." the clusters look like this: sacred heart becomes its own cluster. blessed sacrament and st. michael's will form the holy cross cluster. cathedral of the epiphany, st. boniface, and st. joseph will form the cathedral cluster. and, immaculate conception and nativity will form the mater dei cluster. "the same can't be said for 40 other parishes in the diocese, which will close," said matt breen. reorganizatio n: in this cluster the red dots represent parishes in sanborn, primghar, sutherland and sioux rapids, which would close in favor of parishes in hartley and spencer which will stay open. closing a parish doesn't mean the church will close. instead, the diocese will move those churches to "oratory" status. mass will no longer be celebrated at those sites, but they can be used for catholic weddings and funerals. "what this does is it let us do the hard work now," said rev. brent lingle, director of pastoral planning.
