Catholic Reorganization

The London Ontario Catholic Diocese final recommendation for parish reorganization will see 1 in 5 churches closed.

Holy Name of Mary Church in St Marys is part of the Huron-Perth Deanery which will close 7 churches. Holy Name of Mary itself is being asked to reduce its number of Masses. It is also being asked to submit a plan by February 14 to show how it will become financially viable within 3 years.

2 pastors and 1 associate pastor serve St Joseph's, Stratford, Immaculate Conception, Stratford and Holy Name of Mary, St Marys. The Stratford churches had already reduced to 2 Masses each.
