Episode 26: Planning for Mission, not Maintenance
from The Shepherd's Voice with Archbishop George J. Lucas · host Archdiocese of Omaha
In several parts of archdiocese - both metro and rural - populations have shifted or are declining. We also know that the number of active priests will continue to decrease over the coming years. It is easy to fall into a defensive posture: "How will we protect what we have? How are we going to keep our parish open?” But that isn't the attitude of the Gospel, which is always missionary.
