What does it mean to "become a new parish."  

A parish by definition has 3 components:  1)  A territory or geographical area  2) People that form a community and 3) Priest(s) to serve the people. A Parish is different then a church building, which is a sacred place of worship in service to the parish. A parish is called to share the mission of Jesus Christ and his Church in a particular place, to serve one another and the larger community.
