Coach's Corner 2: Closing Churches
from EquipCast · host Jim Jansen | Everyday Evangelization & Parish Ministry Tools
Did you know that in July of this year more than 20 parishes in our diocese will cease having Sunday Mass? Maybe one of these parishes is your own. The cessation of Sunday Mass will be one of the hardest events for faithful Catholics to process. It feels like the death of a loved one. However, this is not the first time God's people have had to deal with their worship in a particular place coming to an end. I’d like to offer lessons from the past. Why is this happening and what should our response be? References: Vatican document on Pastoral Planning A Production of the Archdiocese of Omaha Editor: Taylor Schroll (ForteCatholic.com)
