A
CALL TO VIBRANT
PARISH LIFE
 |
"Solutions to the issues of growth and decline must safeguard the role of the ordained ministers. I look for solutions
that are respectful of the proper role of all in ministry. They must include encouragement, training, and the just
compensation of lay ecciesial ministers. The best solutions will be those that strive to create collaborative leadership groups that employ the full complement of all the Church's ministries." Bishop Anthony M. Pilla.
You can learn more about
Bishop Pilla' Vibrant
Parish Life pastoral letter & initiative at the Vibrant
Parish Life web site.
