Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland, O.S.B., has announced the names of five new parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The parishes will officially be formed on July 1. The mergers are a result of an on-going parish planning initiative that began in the 10-county archdiocese in the late 1980s. The parish planning process resulted in recommendations for many parishes throughout southeastern Wisconsin to work more closely together or directed parishes to merge.
In Dodge County, St. Malachy, Horicon, and Immaculate Conception, Juneau, will become Sacred Heart. The present common worship site, located at 113 Valley St. in Horicon, will remain as the worship site. Rev. Gene Kinney, who currently serves as pastor at both parishes, will remain as the pastor at Sacred Heart.
In the city of Milwaukee, Mother of Perpetual Help and St. Stephen Martyr will become Mary, Queen of Martyrs. Rev. Mark L. Molling will serve as pastor. The worship site will be located at 5409 W. Villard Ave., the current Mother of Perpetual Help Parish.
