CHENANGO COUNTY – Diocese of Syracuse Vicar James Lang said Thursday that while some Catholic churches will be given a new direction by mid-April, others may have to wait a little bit longer to hear how the diocese-wide consolidation effort will affect them.

“We are not done with every area yet,” Lang said, referring to the 32 different pastoral care areas that each church has been grouped into based on geographic locations. “We will roll out announcements over the next month.”

Lang, without specifying, said some parishes might have to wait until next February to here what could happen to their church.
