"We want to be proactive rather than reactive."
That's the approach Catholics in Northern Door County are taking in response to the priest shortage, said Jim Jauquet of Fish Creek.
Jauquet chairs a recently formed committee to develop a strategic plan on how to best serve the long-term needs of the Northern Door Catholic Community.
According to diocesan plans, it's possible that, by 2010, only one priest will serve all the parishes in Northern Door County and Sturgeon Bay. Currently, Fr. Mat Simonar is pastor
of the Northern Door faith community which includes five parishes - St. Michael, Jacksonport; St. John the Baptist, Egg Harbor; St. Paul, Fish Creek; St. Rosalia, Sister Bay; and St. Mary of the Lake, Baileys Harbor - plus the Washington Island Station. Dominican Srs. Geri Hoye and Georgia Acker serve as pastoral associates. Oblates served Northern Door County for approximately 90 years until Fr. Simonar's appointment in 2000. Full story ...
