Renew My Church:
We begin the phase 4
After the decisions of our Cardinal Cupich regarding our grouping Marquette and our parish, we begin the phase 4 of Renew My Church. This phase will plan the transition toward the new reality: adapting the staff to the needs, proposing changes for schedules and timing for the liturgical life of the parish, as well as choosing the new name for the new parish without changing the name of the two churches.
As you know, after a process of discernment and prayer involving all the parishes of the Marquette grouping, Cardinal Cupich decided to unite Queen of the Universe parish and St. Adrian parish, beginning July 1st. Both churches will remain open and active for ministry and services. Father José, until now pastor at Queen of the Universe, will be the pastor of this new parish.
Appointment of Father José
Since the decision to unite with our fellow Catholic brothers and sisters to form a new parish, a big question has been, “Who will be the pastor of the new parish?”
Cardinal Cupich is pleased to announce the appointment of Fr. Jose Murcia Abellan as pastor of the new parish beginning July 1, 2018. Fr. Jose is currently the pastor of Queen of the Universe and knows the surrounding parishes and communities well.
The Cardinal, the entire Renew My Church team, and I are excited to see the future of our parish under Fr. Jose’s pastoral care. This is a special time in the life of our Church, and I ask that you continue to pray for me, for Fr. Jose, and all of our priests in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
