Both Christ the King in Terrytown and Our Lady of Divine Providence in Metairie participated in this pastoral planning process. Both parishes have shown significant improvement in the sacramental, pastoral programming, and financial issues that needed to be addressed. In light of this success, decisions regarding the futures of Christ the King and Our Lady of Divine Providence have been deferred to a later date for ongoing review and to ensure their progress is sustainable.
Please understand that parish pastoral planning is an ongoing process. Archdiocesan leadership will continue to work with the pastors and parish leadership of both Christ the King and Our Lady of Divine Providence to ensure that all self-identified sacramental, pastoral, and financial benchmarks are being met and that both continue on this path towards parish vitality. Parish vitality is a healthy sign of life in Christ and something that must be continually strived for in all parishes.
