Archbishop sets deadlines for deanery decisions

Archbishop Raymond Burke is expected to decide on the future of parishes and schools in the Northeast County Deanery by the end of the month.

The archbishop also is expected to make the final decision for the South St. Louis Deanery by the end of February, according to Msgr. Vernon Gardin, vicar general for the archdiocese.

Planning efforts for both deaneries are part of the overall Strategic Pastoral Plan for the archdiocese.

Begun under the tenure of Archbishop Justin Rigali, the plan requires that each of the archdiocese’s 10 deaneries be assessed over the next few years.

Planning efforts are designed to ensure that parishes and schools will be viable in the coming years.
