Creating new parishes as the population expanded was important to ensure that local communities had access to religious services, spiritual guidance, and community support. New parishes facilitated the organization of worship and social activities, fostering a sense of belonging and identity among residents. Additionally, they helped manage the growing administrative and pastoral needs of increasingly diverse and populous areas. This expansion also allowed for better outreach and engagement with the community, addressing both spiritual and social needs effectively.
