Proposed Parish Family:
The proposed family grouping from the Archdiocese is to combine St. Joseph Catholic Church (Lynden), and St. Peter Mission (Deming), with St. Joseph Catholic Church (Ferndale), St. Anne Mission (Blaine), St. Joachim Mission (Lummi). This will be the North Whatcom Parish Family, with one Parochial Vicar and one Pastor to serve this community. In this proposal no churches will be closed. Overtime through under the leadership of the Pastor, the Parish family will determine how to share resources.
