“Every Family of Parishes will have a unified Pastoral Council, with other relevant consultative
groups for specific areas of parish life.”
— Parameter 11, Beacons of Light
Every organization, every parish, every family has an organizational culture. As leaders of a Family of Parishes, your parish culture may be working for or against your best made plans to make disciples who radiate Christ.
Join colleagues from Family Leadership Teams for this one day event designed to help pastors and parish leaders understand the importance and impact of their ecclesial culture in implementing vision, making change, and ultimately fulfilling our mission.

I am convinced that Beacons of Light, born of great hope, will enable us to form stronger parishes, centered on the Eucharist, that radiate the love of Christ and joy of the Gospel… God has abundantly blessed our first two centuries and will certainly bless the next.
