Bishop Zubik has identified 13 from the 20 original names submitted in the first step of the naming process towards a new Parish Name. In reviewing these names, parishioners might find it helpful to know the process through which these names were chosen.
Since the names and stories of some of the saints on our final list may to be unfamiliar, we have provided a short biography for each of these saints. For names that are familiar to many, we have only provided the rationales for the names that were submitted to Bishop Zubik.
