Our Purpose
Our Pastor, Fr. Gregory Fedor, has called together a St. Blaise merger planning team with representation from both the IHM and St. Joseph campuses. This group of eight parishioners will listen to parishioners through our 2024 CLI survey and in more targeted ways to identify a unified vision, mission, and set of core values for the parish.
