IN THE MIDST OF CHANGE . . .

The Church is in the midst of change—in liturgical practices, patterns of ministry, parish clustering, generational shifts, ethnic and cultural communities, and many more. Change may arouse fear but can also offer opportunities for hope and growth.

Central Logo

In the midst of change we hear the words of Jesus, “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid” (Jn 14:27b), which give us the confidence to let go of the familiar and to embrace the challenges and opportunities that are set before us.
