Visioning

Now that the work of Phase 1 of Beacons of Light is underway, you can begin to look ahead to Phase 2: Vision!

While resources for Phase 2 won't be available until early Spring, you can prepare to transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2...to connect Leadership to Vision.
 
 
Now that your Family Leadership Team is coming together,
your Family of Parishes needs a vision!

Bring your Family Leadership Team to join those from other parishes to reflect upon the importance of creating vision for the Family of Parishes and to learn how to best create and communicate that vision within the Family.

By the end of the day, the Family Leadership Team will be better equipped to lead the vision creation and communication process with their staff, pastoral councils, finance councils, and other parish leaders within the Family as Phase 2 begins.
 
New Tools For You!
Vision Assessment Tool
Prepare to create a vision for the Family of Parishes by assessing current and future state of parish life measured against the Pathway principle vision points.
 
Family Names and Updated Guidelines
You can now find the names taken by all Families as they are submitted to the Chancery. In addition to the naming guidelines for a Family of Parishes, now available is guidance on requirements for naming a new unified canonical parish.

LOVE IN ACTION
Communities of Charity and Justice

Families of Parishes will be communities of charity and justice, serving those most in need and working to change systems that oppress and marginalize.

 
Love in Action

What activities have you done to bring together Love in Action leaders across your new Family of Parishes?  Were there any highlights that you’d recommend to other Families or any challenges of which they should be aware?

Share your plans and your questions to hear ideas from your colleagues in the Pathway discussion forum.
Feb 28: Evangelization

Join other parish leaders – priests, deacons, lay staff, and others – for Beacons Roundtable on Tues, Feb 28th from 1:30-3:00pm online.

We’ll continue focusing on leading change, creating and communicating vision, and self-care for parish ministers.

The staff of the Center for the New Evangelization will share a vision for new approaches to evangelization and discipleship in a Family of Parishes.
