for all those fancy black-tie parties. one dish that always earns all sorts of praise at those dinners is dressed- up mac and cheese, like this one. once we've melted some butter in a pot, we add some flour and a few spices and let that simmer for a bit. after adding some milk and letting that thicken up, we add lots of shredded cheddar and havarti cheese. now our cooked pasta goes in and when it's mixed, we dish it into individual ramekins, or we can use a the crowning jewel is that we sprinkle these with a buttery cracker topping, which makes them to-die-for. after these bake and the top gets crispy, let me assure you these believe me, this is mill mac and cheese. i hope you'll go online and get the "award winning mac 'n' cheese," so you own oscar dinner party without having to get all dolled up.

through tuesday. lukas scott: lukas by 2025 the sioux city diocese is expecting to have almost half as many active priest as it does now. and that means, the diocese is being forced to make changes to serve its parishioners. by the summer of 2017... the sioux city diocese plans to move from 108 parishes... to 67. in sioux city, eight parishes will consolidate into four: sacred heart, will include blessed sacrament and st. the cathedral, which will include st. boniface and st. joseph, and mater dei, which will combine immaculate conception and nativity. no sioux city churches will
6:34 am
still offer sunday mass. however, 40 rural churches will be moved to oratory they will not host mass, but will still be used for events like weddings and funerals. father brent calling it "ministry 2025" and the proposed response to declining attendance at catholic sioux city diocese and also fewer priest being ordained. by 2025, the diocese expects to have 31 available full-time priests, down from 58 this year. that number just can't perform all the masses cuheld diocese-wide. as a result ... 40 siouxland churches in small communities will no longer offer sunday mass. father brent lingle, director of pastoral planning says, "we know that's a loss and it's hard for a community to be able to accept that, but from the same perspective, we have to make decisions based on the health of our priests and our future ministries, so we can actually reach out to those individuals in a more effective way than maybe we are now." father linggull says for people

will be able to have access to a mass 20 minutes away or less. changes could take affect as early as next summer. you can see the maps of the rural churcheshat would be moved to oratory status... on our website. that's siouxland matters dot com. lukas: part of the problem is the priest shortage. only nine priests have been ordained in the sioux city diocese in the last decade. very simply... more clergy are retiring than joining the profession. but, the young clergy in the diocese have high hopes for the future. abc9 news reporter bria bell has more "i love being a priest. i love being a priest. i would not trade one day of the priesthood for the whole world," says father behm. father patrick behm is the exception to the rule. as we learned with todays announcement,. fewer and fewer young men are joining the preisthood. "first of all it's a calling. the priest hood isn't a job. i didn't wake up one day and say, 'well i want to become a priest, or a doctor, or a lawyer,' says father behm. father behm is in his
6:36 am
relatively young for someone of his occupation. but it's that youthfull connection as a preist and teacher that is helping this parrish stay stable. "i like movies, i like sports, i'm a big baseball fan. it always amazes my students when i go lift weights with them that i have the same music on my phone that they have on theirs," says father behm. late last year he was one of 56 catholics from the diocese to attend the world meeting of families... guiding several students on a pilgrimage to see pope francis in philadelphia. but as the numbers of those attending mass decline, father behm says attempting to connect with all members of the church in important even though everyone is at different stages in their lives. "i've just taken it as that's my call, first as a baptist christian, but then as a priest. my call is to share the gospel of jesus with everyone that i meet. so the message itself never changes, but the mode of how we share it does," says father behm. as the catholic landscape in siouxland continues to change, finding new ways to fill the pews will remain important.... but in says it all comes back to a relationshiop with "whatever god is calling you to do,
