Episode 100: Grief & Loss in Pastoral Planning

As you know, the culture has been rapidly changing around us, and as a result, the Church is diminishing in size. If we want our parishes to flourish again, we must heed the call to become missional communities. The Archbishop has started the Journey of Faith for this very reason. However, if you have ever experienced change before, then you know it’s not all butterflies and rainbows. Even happy changes (moving off to college, getting married, etc.) come with moments of grief. In fact, it’s important to grieve the change. Today, Fr. Kevin Vogel joins me to discuss how to grieve well while on this Journey of Faith.
