-
On the weekends of June 15-16 and June 22-23, it was first announced that the process to formally merge St. Mary Star of the Sea Church in Unionville and St. Patrick Church in Farmington had begun. This included the formation of a Parish Integration Team made up of an equal number parishioners from both churches that cover a variety of perspectives, histories, and demographics.
After several meetings to spent reviewing the past and current realities of our churches and considering possibilities for the future, the work of the Team has resulted in a plan for a new parish names and a new Mass schedule. Information about this plan, along with context for the decision-making process that led to it, was shared in an insert that was put into all bulletins at both churches the weekend of September 21-22, 2024.To view the Parish Integration & Merger Update sheet that was inserted into the bulletins, pleaseTown Hall Meetings
