A
CALL TO VIBRANT
PARISH LIFE
 |
"These are my most firmly held convictions
regarding the future of parish life in the Diocese of Cleveland:
1) Any process that we use for sharing our resources and personnel must be
an experience of "communion" growing together in
Christ.
2) Any solutions we develop must come from and be embraced willingly with
the heart by the local communities involved.
3) The initiative and cooperation of the men and women currently in
leadership in every parish are essential.
4) The result of our discernment will be a collaborative effort, involving
the networking of several ministries and communities in each area of the
Diocese, permeating yet respecting the boundaries of existing parishes." Bishop Anthony M.
Pilla. You can learn more about
Bishop Pilla' Vibrant
Parish Life pastoral letter & initiative at the Vibrant
Parish Life web site.
