On December 5th, Cardinal O’Malley held a consultation with all the priests of the Archdiocese. This consultation is intended as a beginning to a process to plan for the future of the Archdiocese. Central to this plan is changing the focus of parishes from “maintenance” to “mission”, reaching out to draw people to the Catholic Faith or back to it and to renew the Faith of those whose Faith has become cool. A preliminary plan has been developed by the Archdiocesan Pastoral Planning Commission (APPC). This plan may be found on a new web site: 2012planning.org. This plan has many aspects to it. In general, parishes would not be closed, but would be grouped together in “Pastoral Collaboratives” and served by a Pastor. This team would be known as a “Pastoral Service Team.” This plan raises very serious issues for all the parishes of the Archdiocese. It is only a proposal; it is not a finished product. The meeting on December 5th , as I have said, is the beginning of the consultative process. I would urge all to read the material on the new web site. I will try to keep all members of the Most Blessed Sacrament Parish (Melrose-Wakefield-Saugus) informed of further developments as I become aware of them.
Lets all pray together and ask the help of Jesus, our Brother as this process moves forward. God bless you!
