Like several flocks moving toward summer pasture, six parishes around Chilton are moving toward one. On July 1, Good Shepherd Parish will arise from the two parishes in Chilton, and parishes in Charlesburg, Charlestown, Jericho and Kloten.
"I think it's a good name," said Fr. Gary New, SDS, pastor. "Some people have been teasing me that it sounds Lutheran or Protestant, but we have a feast of the Good Shepherd (the fourth Sunday of Easter), so it's not Protestant."
The merger, announced by Bp. David Zubik at a Mass on May 26, is the outcome of the diocese's parish planning process. The six parishes made the final decision to merge - but could not agree on whether to keep one or two parish sites. So they asked Bp. Zubik to decide.
All six parishes will officially cease on July 1, and St. Mary Church (the largest of the six) will become the official parish site; St. Charles will be used for one weekday Mass and services such as weddings for one year. All weekend Masses will be at the St. Mary site. The other churches will continue to be used, at least through the summer, and some will have a final Christmas Mass, but all must be closed by Jan. 1.
