Pastoring Multiple Parishes
Pastoring Multiple Parishes offers readers insight into a critical new trend in Catholic parish life. With nearly half of U.S. parishes and missions sharing their pastor with another parish or mission, multiple-parish pastoring is becoming the most common solution to the shortage of priests in the United States. With increasing frequency, one pastor is being called to serve the needs of two, three, or more different parishes at one time. Because it is so widely implemented, there are plenty of inspiring success stories to be shared and helpful examples of pitfalls to be avoided when dealing with changes in the church. In Pastoring Multiple Parishes, readers discover what works and what doesn’t when parishes must turn to the method of multiple-parish pastoring. Above all, authors Mark Mogilka and Kate Wiskus help Catholics see that this particular change in the chuch is not something to be dreaded, but rather it is a wonderful opportunity for future stability and growth of the Faith.
Authors Mark Mogilka and Kate Wiskus offer practical insight into how these new parish leadership models are structured. Drawing first-hand experience and cutting-edge researc, they also offer advice about what works (and what doesn't) when parishes share a pastor. This book is a practical guide for any community about to participate in this growing trend, or any communities eager to operationalize the most healthy and empowering leadership approach in their setting.
