St. Gianna members to meet pastor

"Meet the Pastor Nights" have been set for parishioners of the new St. Gianna Parish in Wentzville.

The new parish is in territory previously served by St. Patrick Parish in Wentzville and Immaculate Conception Parish in Dardenne Prairie. It is the first new parish in St. Charles County since 1981.

On April 28, Archbishop Raymond Burke appointed Father Timothy Elliott as pastor of St. Gianna. He will meet with new parishioners at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 10, at St. Patrick, 405 S. Church St. in Wentzville, and at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 11, at Immaculate Conception, 7701 Highway N. Those living within the boundaries of the new parish are invited to attend either night.

The parish complex, when completed, will include a church, rectory, parish offices and grade school on 25 acres along Highway N about a mile east of the intersection with Highway Z.
