The New Orleans Archdiocese released its plan to close and merge 27 parishes.
The red markers (click on markers for more info) are parishes that will merge with another parish and change their places of worship to the new parish.
The blue markers are parishes that will close and combine, forming a new parish. The parishioners will name the new parish.
The green markers are parishes that will become a mission of a neighboring parish. The parish’s church will remain open as a place of worship as part of the existing parish.
The purple markers are parishes that will share a pastor with another parish. The parishes will continue to operate independently with independent lay leadership and maintain all parish activities, but will share a pastor.
The yellow markers are parishes that currently operate on the campuses of local universities. They will no longer be considered parishes, but Campus Ministry Centers. Pastoral services and masses will go on as already scheduled.
