PARISH PLANNING UPDATES
One Mission ~ One Community ~ One in Christ
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1
A key aspect of forming a single Catholic community is honoring the legacy of the two Canton parishes that have joined together to form St. Oscar Romero Parish. As we prepare for the imminent sale of the St. Gerard Majella property to the Town of Canton we are working to preserve sacred goods. Other sacred goods will be relocated over time.
- St. Gerard’s distinctive globe-shaped tabernacle has been relocated to the St. John site.
- The steel Cross that stood atop St. Gerard Majella Church has been relocated to St. Mary’s Cemetery.
- The statue of Our Blessed Mother that graced the front lawn is a prominent addition to St. Mary’s Cemetery.

And while this “simple” task, might not seem to be “life changing” at first glance, for this community it will be.
