A
CALL TO VIBRANT
PARISH LIFE
 |
"This statement is
intended to offer a vision and a call for the renewal of parish life
through our unity and collaboration. I ask our parish leaders, and
especially my brother priests, to give me your support in leading this
endeavor. We must love the Church and help our people to participate fully
in its life. Our discernment and dialogue need to be rooted in love –
the love of God, love for each other, love for the Church. We must
recognize and embrace the unifying power the Church has for all of us. I
look forward to continuing our conversations within the
Church as we discern the path to which the Spirit calls us." Bishop Anthony M. Pilla.
You can learn more about
Bishop Pilla's Vibrant
Parish Life pastoral letter & initiative at the Vibrant
Parish Life web site.
