Our History
Due to declining priestly vocations, the six parishes merged into one in 2010. St. Andrew’s (Dundee) closed first in 2009, followed by St. Mary’s (Rushville) in 2011, and St. Theresa’s (Stanley) in 2019. The remaining four churches — St. Michael’s (Penn Yan), St. Januarius’ (Naples), St. Patrick’s (Prattsburgh), and St. Michael’s School — continue to serve as active worship sites across Yates, Steuben, and Ontario counties.
