Our Vision Statement

The MACH1 Parish [Grouping] is a welcoming community of joyful Catholics who are transformed and strengthened by the celebration of the Eucharist. We embark on a life-long journey toward sainthood by learning our faith, loving and serving our Lord and neighbors as we make disciples of all those we encounter.

New Parish Name Survey Results
-
From November, 1, 2020 thru November 22, 2020 parishioners were asked to submit suggestions regarding a name for our soon-to-be new parish. Over the course of the three weeks more than 433 submissions were received via paper and online. Your participation was tremendous and is greatly appreciated.
As requested by the diocese and following diocesan guidelines, our parish grouping's Interim Advisory Council worked very hard at narrowing the number of suggestions down to twenty. The list of twenty was submitted to the bishop’s office for review, and then the edited list was returned to us. The list was then narrowed down to five names.
In making the final selection, the bishop must take into consideration the submissions of all parish groupings, names already assigned newly-formed parishes, and the needs of the entire Diocese as well as other factors. Please keep in mind that it is Bishop Zubik who makes the decision regarding a new parish name.
The following names, listed in alphabetical order, are five to be sent to the bishop for his consideration:
