Serving God's People

This essay was published on the CNS (Catholic News Service) website by a pastor of a merged parish in Albany, NY. The essay acknowledges that it’s not an easy process, but it also shows very well how two parish faith communities can become one in a way that everyone benefits.

In our diocese, merging is just one of several possibilities that the Pastoral Planning teams at the parish, deanery, and diocesan levels are considering as they work to plan for the future of our local Church.

Here’s a link to the essay.
