Archdiocesan Restructuring
Fall 2026 Update
by our Archbishop Weisenburger
From Fr. Jeff desk
Last Spring each parish had 2 listening sessions (for a total of 412 sessions) on the proposed models for restructuring. About 40,000 people participated. The feedback from all the listening sessions and the approximately 17,000 responses to an online survey has been read and evaluated. In light of that feedback, we now have a second round of models to consider. Some models have remained the same; some have been adjusted.
There are now just two models for each planning area. It is important to know that even these models are not final, just another step in the discernment process.
Transfiguration has received some major adjustment! It is now suggested that we consider a potential pastorate with parishes to our south. There are two models:
Option 1
- Transfiguration
- Corpus Christi
- Christ the King
Also part of pastorate but without weekend masses:
- St. Charles Lwanga (2nd worship site for Christ the King)
- Presentation/Our Lady of Victory
- St. Scholastica
Option 2
The same, except Christ the King moves to the column without weekend masses.
In both models, weekend masses remain at Transfiguration
The rationale given states: “Church of the Transfiguration is included in this pastorate because of geographic proximity and shared commitment to social justice outreach. All the pastorates try to reflect primary travel corridors. The groupings also seek to support Black Catholic communities.”
We want to hear you!
We will have two Town Hall Meetings, one on Saturday, October 31, after the 4:30 PM Mass, and one on Sunday, November 1, after the 11 AM Mass. You are welcome to participate and share your insights. Your feedback will be collated and shared with the archdiocese on November 5.
Feedback can be shared with our key parish leaders, in the bulletin insert or in the feedback form in this page, could be filled with name or if you prefer to remain anonymous:
