Correction: Parishes Collaborating, Not Merging

Since 2019, the Diocese of Youngstown has been engaged in a regional plan on the Church. Upon Bishop Bonnar’s arrival in 2021, he has affirmed this plan. The parish communities of Regina Coeli, Saint Joseph, located in Alliance along with Saint Joseph Parish, Maximo and Saint Ann Parish, Sebring, are collaborative units in which the parishes continue to function as distinct entities, with shared personnel. These parishes are not merging as reported in a recent article. Please accept our apology for incorrect information.
