Members of Catholic churches in the St. Louis area learned how their parishes will be restructured.

Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin held a press conference at St. Louis Church, where he announced his decisions that will affect 30 parishes. Many members of those churches were in attendance.

He announced three models for the Catholic communities: Merged or consolidated churches create a new parish configuration which is able to provide many more activities and opportunities than the original ones could have managed on their own. Linked ones are produced when two parishes share a pastoral leader and cooperate in as many ways as possible. Partnerships are created through the use of joint programs, sharing of staff and the use of joint councils, commissions and programs.
 
Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin reported that the single largest financier of the archdiocese in St. Louis had met privately with him to inform the church that the businesses would be relocating and funding would cease immediately.
