CALL OF ARCHBISHOP OF BALTIMORE TO READ THE LETTER AND TAKE THE SURVEY

Archbishop Lori has written a very important pastoral letter on evangelization-based parish planning which will be used by every parish in the Archdiocese of Baltimore this year to begin planning where and how the Catholic Church will serve the people of our archdiocese in the future.  The letter is entitled: A Light Brightly Visible-Lighting the Path to Missionary Discipleship.

A Pastoral Letter on Evangelization

Like many parishioners throughout the Archdiocese of Baltimore, we, Filipino parishioners, we need to participate, look at, and study the changing demographics of our parish community to determine how and where the Church can best serve.

There is a parish based planning process, which will not be a “top down” effort but will include decisions made at the parish level and I need you, Filipino Catholics to participate.

The first step in this process is to read the Archbishop’s pastoral letter so that we can all have a sense of what this planning process is about.  The letter and a video of the Archbishop explaining the “spirit” of this planning process, which is being called Be Missionary Disciples, can be found  by going to bemissionarydisciples.org website

Please do take a few minutes to read the pastoral letter and take the survey.

Fr. Pete
