With every challenge, opportunity

It was easy to view the restructuring process in West Hartford as a threat. Notwithstanding the fact that many understood that the process might be necessary given the shortage in priests, the prospect of change was daunting, particularly when the possibility of the shuttering of parish doors loomed.

Now, with the the threat of closures at least temporarily behind us, the parishes of West Hartford are embracing the restructuring effort and the possibilities that come with the renewal of relationships between parishes. While we might have been forced together by questions of restructuring, we choose to continue to work together to build a greater community.
