Many pastors and parish leaders are so busy handling their day-to-day tasks that long-term strategy and teamwork get pushed aside.
Don’t let common obstacles keep you from doing the work to which God called you.
Are you experiencing:
- Lack of collaboration among ministries and staff
- Unproductive or excessively long parish staff and ministry meetings
- Confusion on the parish’s direction
- A large loss of parishioners when pastors and parish leaders leave
- Lack of support as parish leadership
- Difficulty properly analyzing parish and ministry activity
Don’t let these six obstacles get in your way. The Parish Life team can help you work together and establish pastoral plans so your parish can grow and make missionary disciples.
How We Can Help

Take the 1st step…
You've had an encounter with the Lord, that's why you're here. You want others to encounter Him too, that's why we're here.
Focusing on teamwork and pastoral planning isn’t a fast or easy solution for your parish and ministries to thrive, but it does work. When we work together, we will clarify your pastoral vision, help you discern the right people to have around the table, analyze your parish and ministries, develop a concrete pastoral plan, and prepare for future transitions.

“Everyone was very informative and will allow us to take [what we learned] back to our parish to propose and establish new changes to the better good of our community!”
– West Urban Deanery Pastoral Council Member
“This [pastoral council] training was very good and practical. The topics in the presentation could be used with other ministries and areas of the parish, not just our pastoral council.”
– Fr. James Ikeatuegwu
