Our Lady of the Angels Parish in Waggaman and St. Bonaventure in Avondale are both small parishes that face significant uncertainty in regards to their futures. In order to create a more vibrant community with resources to enable the people to grow in relationship with Jesus Christ through active participation in parish life, these two parishes will be merged into one parish, erected with a new name, and to be located at the current Our Lady of the Angels campus with consideration given for a new pastor effective July 1, 2024.
