A number of Roman Catholic churches in Butler County will be combining together to form new groupings.
The Diocese of Pittsburgh announced the new reorganization plans on Saturday.
Saint Clare of Assisi will be the new parish for Saint Joseph in North Oakland, Mater Dolorosa in Chicora, and Saint Wendelin in East Butler.
And then Saint Alphonsus in Boyers, Saint Christopher in Prospect, and Saint Peter in Slippery Rock will come together to form Saint Faustina.
The mergers will take effect on January 4th next year.
