PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS AND NOT FINAL

Region one [Blessed John XXIII: Sacred Heart-Cedarbrook and St. Lucy- Blue Anchor; Mt. Carmel, Berlin; Assumption, Atco; St. Anthony, Waterford ] proposed three possible plans:

Mt. Carmel - one parish with one priest
Assumption - one parish with one priest
St. Anthony- merges into Assumption
Blessed John XXIII - merges into Assumption



Mt. Carmel - one parish with one priest
Assumption and St. Anthony- cluster and share one priest
Blessed John XXIII - builds new church complex as one parish with one priest



Mt. Carmel - one parish with one priest
Assumption and St. Anthony merge - one priest
Blessed John XXIII - builds parish complex - one priest





PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS AND NOT FINAL
After discussion it was decided the Option 2 is the preferred plan and Option 1 would be a fall back position if Blessed John XXIII could not gain approval to build. Option 3 was deleted.
