Our Lady of Refuge Parish, Prince of Peace Parish, and St. Benedict Parish and their formation of the Waters of Light Family of Parishes

On December 13, 2023, Archbishop Vigneron issued decrees transferring Our Lady of Refuge Parish and Prince of Peace Parish to the South Oakland 7 Family of Parishes, which already includes St. Fabian Parish, St. Andrew Kim Parish, and Our Lady of Sorrows Parish.

In addition, St. Benedict Parish is transferred to the South Oakland 3 Family of Parishes, which already includes Sacred Heart Parish (Auburn Hills), St. Damien of Molokai Parish, St. Hugo Parish, and St. Thomas More Parish.

With these changes, which went into effect on January 8, 2024, the Waters of Light Family of Parishes no longer exists. For more information on these decrees, contact the Chancellor’s Office at chancellor@aod.org.
