4. Families of Parishes – September Update
As you know, priests in the archdiocese have been meeting every month to pray, learn, and discuss the transition to Families of Parishes … Earlier this month, we were able to gather key leaders from the many groups which support and advise the Archbishop for a virtual meeting where they received an update on the progress of our efforts to move to Families.
The priests, vicars, and regional bishops are now finalizing the parishes within families, and the Governance Team is finalizing their recommendation to the Archbishop for the models of leadership that will be implemented in each family of parishes.
I invite you to please pray for the all involved as we are very close to finalizing some key decisions. —Deacon Mike Houghton, Director, Department of Missionary Strategic Planning
Please especially pray for the priests in our Vicariate as they meet this week to discern recommendations to the Archbishop.
