Families of Parishes to be finalized soon

Image
  After extensive review of the first draft and evaluating thousands of suggestions from priests and people across the Archdiocese, the Beacons of Light planning team is ready to finalize the new groupings of parishes ("families of parishes") that will take effect in July of 2022.  These will be announced on December 5th via the diocesan website . Once this is announced, the groupings will be final and we will have the opportunity to begin planning for the implementation in our parishes here.  Archbishop will be instructing all parishes to play his audio message on this process at all the Masses for that same weekend, the second Sunday of Advent.  Please continue to pray for the Archbishop and his planning team so that we can help the mission of the Church thrive in the local Church of Cincinnati.

This event will be streamed live by Vatican News .  Please watch this video from our U.S. Bishops explaining the event.        During the prayer,  the Holy Father will grant to all participants a Plenary Indulgence before imparting his Urbi et Orbi blessing.  Read more about this indulgence here . The "Urbi et Orbi" blessing means the Pope will be blessing the people of Rome and Christians around the world.  Note that it is usually required to go to Mass and confession before receiving a plenary indulgence, but under the circumstances the Pope might waive that requirement for those  who pray with him.]
