Pastoral exploration process
As part of the pastoral exploration process, several parishes came together to form communities of responsibility.
A community of responsibility has already been united into a new parish.
The Sorbian Pastoral Room was given a special status by Bishop Heinrich Timmerevers . It does not have to unite into a new parish until 2021.
