July 6, 2020 UPDATE- PARISH UNIFICATION 

As the parish of Ss. Timothy, Henry, and Margaret Mary moves forward in its unification process, one of the most pressing issues we face is choosing a new name for the parish. We are looking for names that reflect the spirit of our unified parish, remembering that “catholic” means “universal.” Catholic also means “all-encompassing” and “all-embracing,” which are all good ways to think about what you think should be the new parish name.

The timeline and the naming guidelines are printed in this bulletin. They have also been posted on parish websites, Facebook pages, and sent by email. Please spread the word and talk to your friends. We ask that you return your suggestions as soon as you can. The deadline for submission is July 23.

The Unification Committee is also looking for with our sub-committees. Four committees have been established.

Finance Committee chaired by Trongphuc Tran. trongphuctran@outlook.com

Facilities Committee chaired by Reid Mackin. reidmackin@hotmail.com

Liturgy Committee chaired by Anabel Yuen. anabelyuen6@gmail.com

Communications Committee chaired by Art Blumberg. arthurblumberg@sbcglobal.net

If you have any suggestions for any one of these committees, please contact one of the parish offices or one of the chairs.

The Unification Committee looks forward to working with all of you. Thank you for your prayers, help, and guidance.

NAME THE NEW PARISH 

Our unification team is asking for your input in choosing the new name for our unified parish. Please refer to the guidelines and timeline to submit the name for the new parish. Each parish council will compile the three most suggested names to be considered by the Naming Committee. The people representing St. Timothy on the Unification Team  are Cathy Backer, Joanne Blaquera, Cristina Ner-Miles, Cynthia Shaw, Anabel Yuen, who are all members of the Parish Counsel, and Peter Pham.

 

Timeline for choosing the name of the new unified parish:

 

July 2—A Naming Committee of eighteen members formed with six parishioners from each of our three former parishes to review parishioners’ input for naming the new unified parish.

July 3-July 26, parishioners may make suggestions for the new parish name. Suggestion forms should be returned at the end of Saturday or Sunday Mass.

July 27—Each parish council will submit the three most suggested names to the Naming Committee with optional short supporting essays (no more than 300 words).

July 31—The Naming Committee will meet, discuss the most suggested names from each of the former parishes, vote on the most suggested names that fit within the guidelines, and present the rationale for each of the final three suggested names to be submitted to the Archdiocese.

August 3—The final list of three names will be submitted to Fr. Jason Malave. We hope to receive Cardinal Cupich’s approval on or before August 12.

 

Guidelines for naming the new unified parish

1. A title of Christ either already accepted in the liturgy or from a mystery in His life
