New Parish Naming
After receiving over 300 suggestions from many of you, and through further prayer and discussion amongst council members, the 20 suggested names that we submitted to Bishop Zubik are as follows:
All Saints
Christ the King
Good Shepherd
Prince of Peace
Blessed Sacrament
Holy Trinity
Holy Cross
Bread of Life
Mary, Queen of Angels
Holy Redeemer
Transfiguration
Our Lady of Fatima
Risen Christ
Holy Rosary
Holy Apostles
Holy Name of Jesus
St. Francis Xavier
St. Anne
Mary, Queen of All Nations
St. Thomas Aquinas
I write with confidence that the council members have taken their responsibility as parish leaders seriously in this process, which certainly is appreciated.
Bishop Zubik will now discern and reply to us with a list of fewer than 20 names, which we will present to the community during the Virtual Parish Assembly that will be held in February (stay tuned for specific date and time).
Please know that Bishop Zubik will be the final decision-maker regarding the name of the new parish.
Stay safe and healthy.
I pray for you daily.
Yours in Christ,
Father Kevin C. Fazio
