The local Catholic diocese is considering a proposed merger for the Danville area that would close local churches. Under the recommendation, St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Danville would be the primary site.
Holy Family Catholic Church in Danville and St. Isaac Jogues in Georgetown are recommended to not be used in the future. Also under the plan St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Hoopeston and St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Westville are recommended secondary sites. There would be three priests assigned to the area.
According to a social media post, the Holy Family October parish meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday in the downstairs hall. A video about the recommended plan will be shown.
A final decision on the plan is expected in May.
