Catholic parishes in Invercargill may combine into one large parish because of the declining number of priests.
The parishes considering restructuring include St Mary's Invercargill, St Theresa's North Invercargill, St Patrick's Georgetown and Sacred Heart Waikiwi.
Reverend Christopher O'Neill, from St Mary's, said the process had just begun, and would likely take "months not weeks".
