Preparing to become one parish
A September 27 update explains the stages of the merger. The effective date remains pending.
The September 27, 2026 bulletin describes the preparations to unite Divine Mercy, St. Norbert, and Holy Cross as Mary, Mother of Mercy Parish. At the time of that announcement, the canonical merger was anticipated for the end of October, with the exact date still awaiting confirmation.
The canonical, civil, and financial steps are distinct. The pastoral letter explains that civil incorporation and the work of bringing finances together do not all occur on the same day; the financial merger was expected the following year.
Until an effective date is formally announced, our community remains Mary, Mother of Mercy Pastorate. Please read the pastoral letter and watch the bulletin for dated updates, including trustee nominations and the election. Questions about your parish records or giving arrangements can be directed to the parish office.
