Randy Doll- ins, V.G., moderator of the curia, about the parish boundaries process that is currently under way. DENVER CATHOLIC: The arch- diocese is reviewing and making changes to parish boundaries; who is involved in that process? FR. RANDY DOLLINS: A little over a year ago all the parishes did a self study, part of which was questions about their boundaries—whether they felt their boundaries were correct. We got a lot of feedback from the parishes. The key people involved are the pas- tors themselves. We're going deanery by deanery. We've fi nished the Boul- der Deanery, so we have 12 to go. I take the current boundaries, draw them up in a mapping program, incorporate suggested changes pastors gave in the self study, then the whole deanery gets that map and they discuss it. Through a process with the deans we deter- mine where the boundaries should be. The pastors sign o€ on them and the archbishop confi rms that those are the boundaries. DC: Why is it necessary to change some boundaries? RD: This process hasn't been done in a really long time and there are a lot of new roads, for instance, E-470. In some cases, new boundaries might just make more logical sense. Some- times a parish's boundary was the whole county because it was the only parish in the county. Then you get odd boundaries like St. Augustine in Brighton, which technically goes from Brighton all the way down to I-70 and includes the airport—it's this huge area. But the airport is technically closer to Ascension Parish in Denver and if we're going to have a Mass at the airport then the question is: Whose authority is that under? Pas- tors need to know what area is under their purview; what are they respon- sible for? It's helping us to fi nd that. Mapping technology now is amazing. You can get on the Internet and draw a boundary line around an area and label that. We'll be able to promul- gate these boundary maps with a link on the archdiocesan website (www. archden.org) where people can go and see the location of each parish, the boundaries, and the boundaries of the overall deanery. It's an opportunity in this moment of technology. DC: What is the status of the boundary review process? RD: The Boulder Deanery is done and we're going to try to get another six or seven of the remaining 12 deaneries done by June 2017. From this point, it's probably another two years before we have them all done. As they get promul- gated the map on www.archden.org/ boundaries will show them. Boundaries exist for all the parishes right now, but sometimes those are up in the air. Q&A: Parish boundaries review aims to ensure the faithful are well served
