Into the Deep update: Parish naming process begins
Phase 1 of Into the Deep saw the formation of pastorates — groupings of parishes under the leadership of a single pastor or parochial administrator. The next step in the process is merging the individual parishes in each pastorate into a single, canonical parish.
We’re all in this together
As our priests continue to unpack in their new homes and begin embracing new faith communities, and our people adjust to new leadership and new Mass times, I am certainly aware of the enormity of these changes as we launch Into the Deep.
Living out the Church’s mission
On July 1, every parish in the Diocese of Madison will be joining one of 30 new “pastorates,” or a grouping of parishes under the leadership of a single pastor or administrator, with other priests serving alongside him as parochial vicars as part of the Into the Deep strategic planning process.
Turning the pages
Parishioners in the Diocese of Madison are dealing with a lot of changes. Come July 1, there will be a lot of new priests in the churches, some new Mass times, and new fellow parishioners.

The importance of solidarity with our Into the Deep strategic plan

Bishop Hying’s message on Into the Deep priest assignments
As we announce the new priest assignments, in light of Into the Deep, it gives us pause to reflect on the gift of those priests in our lives who have powerfully impacted our practice of the faith.
El mensaje del Obispo Hying sobre los nuevos puestos de sacerdotes sobre Into the Deep
A medida que anunciamos los nuevos puestos de los sacerdotes, a la luz de Into the Deep, este tiempo nos da una pausa para reflexionar sobre el don de aquellos sacerdotes en nuestras vidas que han impactado poderosamente nuestra práctica de la fe. A través de su predicación del Evangelio, su celebración de los Sacramentos, especialmente la Eucaristía y la Reconciliación, y su pastoreo y servicio pastoral, nuestros sacerdotes nos llevan a Cristo y a Su salvación. Estamos muy agradecidos por cada uno de ellos, y con razón es que nos hemos apegado a menudo a nuestros sacerdotes particulares.
