*NEW ENERGIES TASK FORCE FOR PARISHES
“As good stewards, we have an oligation to search out and
implement the best options for parish organization consistent
with these realities and the needs of our Catholic people.”
--Archbishop John J. Myers
My Dear Brothers in Christ,
I am very pleased with all the work and all the effort that has gone into
the First Round of Parish Planning for the New Energies Project. We initiated
the project three years ago when we asked the Task Force on Parishes to study
the needs and realities of the Archdiocese and to make recommendations regarding
the future of parish structures according to a specific timetable.
A year ago I spoke of the recommendations not being the final word, but rather
the start of the conversation and response phase of the project. I asked the
48 immediately involved parishes to study the recommendations and respond
by accepting them or designing new possibilities, which they thought more
appropriate. I am pleased to say that our parishes did just that. Parishes
have been both receptive to the recommendations and creative in suggesting
new ideas.
