In a dramatic move sure to stir deep emotions in Roman Catholic parishes across the Twin Cities and beyond, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis will formally announce plans Saturday to close about 20 churches and merge many parishes as it grapples with shrinking budgets, changing demographics and a dwindling number of priests.
The plan, part of the largest reorganization in the archdiocese's 160-year history, was shared with priests and parish workers on Friday.
