I think the article may have been renamed:
State’s parishes plan for possible consolidation

The decline in priests is affecting many diocese in the U.S. It is uncomfortable and inconvenient, but we are still far, far better off than Catholics who live in the Global South, where the ratio of priests to parishioners is much, much smaller.

Yes I see that when I did look it up to see if it was listed, go to Nov. 24 and then that (new title ) name and see the article.
It also did not have all that is actually in the paper.

We are getting more people interested in the deaconship, so this helps and we are trying to keep all of our Churches open but only time will tell.

Two of our Churches are combining the confirmation which makes it a one time day and mass but both priests attend.
