St. Louis Catholics React to Archdiocese's 'All Things New' Plan

Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski announced his final plan for All Things New, which includes consolidating and closing some parishes due to a shortage of priests in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The restructuring will reduce the number of parishes from 178 to 134, with 35 closing and merging into neighboring parishes, and 15 consolidating to create five new ones. The plan also includes new priest assignments, with many pastors and priests doing double duty. The changes will start in August and continue through 2026, with decisions on Catholic parish school closures expected this fall. Appeals can be submitted in writing to the archbishop by June 12.

St. Louis Archbishop reorganizes Catholic church, closes 35 parishes and reassigns 155 priests.

The Archbishop of St. Louis has announced the closure of 35 parishes and the reassignment of 155 priests in the most significant reorganization of the Catholic Church in St. Louis history. The downsizing of the archdiocese, called "All Things New," will reshape it from 178 individual parishes into 134. The changes will affect the entire region, with nearly half of the closures in north St. Louis and north St. Louis County. The parish closings and mergers do not necessarily mean that the church buildings associated with those parishes will also close.
