“Real Presence, Real Future”
This morning the decision regarding the future of the Catholic Community of Muskingum County was released.
I am overjoyed to report that Bishop Fernandes has decided to keep Saint Thomas Aquinas Church OPEN, along with Saint Nicholas and Saint Ann, Dresden, and Saint Mary, Mattingly Settlement.
Saint Nicholas and Saint Thomas will become one parish, with two churches and one school. Two priests will serve this new combined parish.
Bishop Rosecrans High School and Bishop Fenwick Elementary School will remain as they are and are not affected by this decision. Bishop Fenwick Preschool will remain at Saint Thomas School.
This is an extraordinary moment in the life of Saint Thomas and the Catholic Community of Muskingum County.
Bishop Fernandes has heard you and responded to your devotion to the Catholic faith, our parish, and your desire to strengthen Catholic education in Muskingum County.
Bishop Fernandes will speak on Saint Gabriel Radio AM 820 today at 10:00 am
