Faithful Chronicles
By Father Frank D. Almade
On Mission for the Church Alive!
is on the move. This planning and
evangelical outreach initiative was
begun by Bishop Zubik more than
two years ago. Much of its work has
been “behind the scenes.” I served on
the preparatory commission for three
years, during which we reviewed the
current statistics of the Diocese of
Pittsburgh, future projections for
priests, lay ecclesial ministers and
people, models of parish ministry
from around the country, and what
outcomes we wanted to make happen.
One of the decisions the commission recommended, and Bishop
Zubik accepted, was that the current
diocesan staff is stretched to the max
with ordinary ministry, and that the
diocese should engage a planning
consultant for this special project. In
January the Catholic Leadership Institute of Philadelphia was hired to
accompany the bishop, the leadership
commission, and the people and
priests of the diocese for On Mission
for the Church Alive! CLI
(www.catholicleaders.org ) is well
known to our diocese, as it has
organized the Good Leaders, Good
Shepherds and Tending the Talents
projects. I completed the second
GLGS cohort three years ago, and
Father Larry Adams began the fourth
GLGS group two weeks ago. (GLGS
uses excellent business practices to
teach priests and deacons how to pastor more effectively.)
For the past year, and continuing
The Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
into 2016, Bishop Zubik exhorts us
to pray for On Mission
(www.onmissionchurchalive.org). We
do that using the prayer at the conclusion of the Prayers of the Faithful
at all Masses, in the Adoration Chapel, and in our personal intentions.
Prayer is an essential part of this planning initiative, in which we open ourselves to the creativity of the Holy
Spirit and the will of the Father.
The next step in On Mission is
forming and training a parish team.
Each pastor is being asked to suggest
six active parishioners who will form
a parish team to lead consultations
with their parishioners. Deadline for
submission of names of team members is the end of February. In April
each team member will be required
to attend a training session led by
CLI and diocesan staff. Then in the
second half of 2016, each parish
team will conduct listening sessions
within its parish, and share the results with the priests, pastoral and
finance council members, and other
teams in their cluster and district.
Also over the winter, CLI will conduct one-on-one listening sessions
with active priests, deacons, and lay
ecclesial ministers.
The goal of all these listening sessions is to have the parish teams in
each district make recommendations
for the future leadership of parishes.
This will happen early in 2017. This
consultation will proceed “from the
ground up” through parish teams, to
district meetings, to the regional vicar
and ultimately to the bishop. If necessary more consultations will be held.
Finally, about two years from now the
bishop will confirm or adjust the rec-
ommendations for parish leadership
for the future.
What does this mean for us? Our
district (the eight parishes in Lawrence County) is already a pilot program for On Mission. We are using
two newer models of parish leadership: the deacon administrator model
(with Deacon John Carran leading
Christ the King Parish, HillsvilleBessemer, and St. James the Apostle
Parish, Pulaski, along with Father
Phil Farrell as priest director and four
nearby priests as sacramental ministers), and the one-pastor-for-multipleparishes model, with myself as pastor
of our four parishes, supported by
two parochial vicars and parish staff.
There are other models of ministry
available. Each of the 21 districts in
the diocese will have its parish teams
look at all available models, in light
of four criteria—being missionaries to
the unchurched and fallen away; caring for our active faithful; being financially viable; sharing the clergy
equitably throughout the diocese.
What about right now? Pray for the
bishop, diocesan staff, CLI consultants, and all 200 parishes and
650,000 Catholics in the Diocese of
Pittsburgh. Pray for the success of On
Mission for the Church Alive! Pray
that we be willing to think “outside
the box,” act courageously, and
position our parish communities and
institutions for growth. Keep
yourself informed by reading the On
Mission column on page 5 of the
Pittsburgh Catholic, and our parish
bulletin. Love your Catholic faith
and your church by sharing your
prayer, time, talent and treasure with
your parish.
