A
CALL TO VIBRANT
PARISH LIFE
 |
"All of these opportunities require much collaboration. They demand good stewardship and the willingness to share
with others --the poor with the rich, the rich with the poor, one cultural group with another. Collaboration includes sharing in the same district or neighborhood, and goes beyond to invite partnerships between parishes with
different cultural roots." Bishop Anthony M.
Pilla.
You can learn more about Bishop Pilla' Vibrant
Parish Life pastoral letter & initiative at the Vibrant
Parish Life web site.
