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.
