A
CALL TO VIBRANT
PARISH LIFE
 |
"My first conviction is that our chosen method for
achieving vibrant parish life for all of our people must be an experience
of "communion" – growing together in Christ. I believe that
our efforts to respond to the realities of growth and decline must be
guided by a process that itself is vibrant, one that "builds up"
the experience of parish life for the people and the ministers. It is my
hope that this process, for those who enter it sincerely, will not
discourage people or communities. Instead, any process we use to deal with
the future of parish ministry must encourage the faith life of the persons
most directly affected." Bishop Anthony M.
Pilla. You can learn more about
Bishop Pilla' Vibrant
Parish Life pastoral letter & initiative at the Vibrant
Parish Life web site.
