A
CALL TO VIBRANT
PARISH LIFE
 |
"Vibrant parish life is the best way for us to manifest the presence of Christ and to inspire others to embrace
Christ more profoundly. This quality of parish life is a reality in many places. If all Catholics are to experience
vibrant parish life, we will need to sustain and expand the vital ministries we now have, while discerning new and
creative means of providing ministry in the future. We also need catechesis in order for our people to understand
and support this vision of vibrant parish life" Bishop Anthony M.
Pilla.
You can learn more about Bishop Pilla' Vibrant
Parish Life pastoral letter & initiative at the Vibrant
Parish Life web site.
