A CALL TO VIBRANT
PARISH LIFE
 |
"In addition to the opportunities for
worship and reception of all the sacraments, a vibrant parish, alone or in
collaboration with other parishes, must be able to offer religious education on all levels. We
have always prized our Catholic schools. We deeply care about quality religious education programs such as our Parish Schools of Religion and youth ministries. Adult religious education and formation opportunities, programs for strengthening family life, young adult programs.. all these must also be regularly available and
strengthened." Vibrant
Parish Life

Pilla' Vibrant Parish Life
