I've been working with Blythe Bernhard on trying to understand the #StLouis Archdiocese's efforts to consolidate and reorganize.

It has been challenging to show the evolving proposals through the All Things News process. But I'm pretty happy with where I landed on this animated/interactive map for St. Cecilia.
