Diocese of Joliet Announces Phase 3 of Targeted Restructuring
​
Two years ago, the Diocese of Joliet launched a three-year targeted restructuring process to better organize parishes, schools and other Catholic institutions. This comprehensive process began in July 2022 shortly after the diocese had streamlined its own operations at the Blanchette Catholic Center and implemented a parish-focused approach to advance Bishop Hicks' vision of "Catechesis, Evangelization, and Faith into Action."
​
The third and final phase of targeted restructuring began in March 2024. The TRC (Targeted Restructuring Committee) again considered parishes throughout all the geographic areas of the Diocese, with specific consideration given to DuPage, Southern Will and Grundy Counties. The TRC considered similar data that were prioritized in the restructuring of the Joliet Deanery.
