From Your Pastor “Collaboration or Merger?” ~ by Susan Abbott of Our Archdiocesan Pastoral Planning Office
God bless each of you.
An interesting conversation came up at a recent training session for pastors of Phase III collaboratives: If we -- parishes in the collaborative -- will be doing so many things together, why is this called collaboration and not merger? Good question. Of the 71 parishes currently in collabo-ratives, some have combined faith formation programs, many offered one Lenten Mission for all parishes in the collaborative, and still more have centralized parish offices and staff to one location. As one pastor commented, "We have one confirmation and one triduum, that sounds like a merger." It may, but it isn't. The archdiocese has had parish mergers. In past years, parishes, usually two, joined together to form one worshipping community of faith. Like some modern marriages, there are instances where the two merged parishes take on the hyphenated name of both parishes. The analogy to marriage is reinforced by Merriam-Webster's definition of merge: "to cause (two or more things...) to come together and become one thing: to join or unite (one thing) with another." St. X Parish and St. Y Parish become St. X-St. Y Parish (singular, not parishes, plural) and liturgies take place at the former St. Y church. Merriam-Webster dictionary gives the first definition of collaborate as: "to work with another person or group in order to achieve or do something." This definition describes well what the pastoral plan, Disciples in Mission, is all about. A review of Disciples in Mission goals might be helpful here. The plan is working toward making every collaborative a center of the new evangelization -- a place where people encounter Jesus Christ in word and sacrament, and through the parish community. With a strong pastor, committed collaborative leadership team, energized parishioners, and support from archdiocesan offices, the parishes in the collaborative will become stronger, more stable, more intentional in their efforts
to bring back those who have fallen away, and more effective in assisting people to grow spiritually. When this happens, the Church will grow too, and from that will flow a richness of vocations. In a nutshell, the pastoral plan, with God's grace, will allow parishes in the collaborative to "stabilize in order to evangelize." Collaboration calls for a new model of leadership but,
as a Phase I pastor noted, our beliefs have not changed -- our dogma and doctrine, Scripture and Tradition -- are the same. We still proclaim Jesus Christ -- yesterday, today, and forever. In light of the hard, exhausting work and the detours, potholes, and bumps in the road of pastoral planning, it may sound like pie in the sky to think this right now, but if the archdiocese and the collaboratives can achieve these goals, most especially encouraging vocations to the priesthood, eventually the collaboratives will dissolve and each parish will return to being a single parish with its own pastor. To some, this prospect sounds beyond ridiculous because stories of struggles and difficulties spread much more quickly than stories of renewal and success. And this won't happen tomorrow, or next year, but, maybe, in 30 years. The plan has immediate goals, but also takes the long view. Our Church is two millennia old. There's no denying, it has been very rough going in some places, but a careful reading of the Acts of the Apostles and the Letters to the early Church clearly shows that 2,000 years ago fewer did more with less. Twelve men and devoted disciples spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to most of the then-known world with no technology or efficient modes of transportation. Prayer and hard work, hope and joy, can bear good fruit. Two things we hear over and over in Scripture: "With God all things are possible," and "Do not be afraid." As the Archdiocese of Boston navigates the unchartered waters of collaboration, we take heart in these words of blessed assurance.

MSGR. WILLIAM FAY NAMED DIRECTOR OF CAMPUS MINISTRY AND DIRECTOR OF
CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR DEACONS IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF BOSTON
April 21, 2015
Cardinal Seán O’Malley has appointed Msgr. William Fay, pastor of St. Lucy and St. Monica Parishes in Methuen, director of campus ministry and director of continuing education for deacons in the Archdiocese of Boston.
In making this appointment, Cardinal Seán said, “As Disciples in Mission, our Archdiocesan pastoral plan, takes firm root in our parishes, it is important for us to ensure that the mission of evangelization is also strong in other areas of our life as a Church. Two vital areas that deserve our immediate attention are campus ministry and the ongoing formation of our deacons.”
Cardinal Seán has asked Msgr. Fay to work closely with those engaged in the works of campus ministry and the diaconate to explore ways in which the principles of Disciples in Mission can strengthen the mission of evangelization on our college campuses and in the various ministries exercised by our deacons. Msgr. Fay will also assist the rector of St. John Seminary in the Theological Institute for the New Evangelization. In addition to his experience as an administrator and pastor, Msgr. Fay brings to this multifaceted assignment both his longtime work as a member of the faculty of St. John’s Seminary and his service on the Pastoral Planning Commission that assisted Cardinal Seán in the development of Disciples in Mission. His appointment is effective June 15, 2015.

Rachel mourns her children; She refuses to be consoled, because her children are no more. Thus says the Lord: “Cease from your cries of mourning. Wipe the tears from your eyes…There is hope for your future.”
Jeremiah 31:15-17
Archdiocese of Boston

Project Rachel is a confidential Catholic outreach ministry offering hope and healing to women and men hurting from past abortions. Trust in the tender embrace of God’s merciful love.
“Evangelization must be the first focus of our Church. Then, the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, which result from living and sharing the Gospel, will transform the culture around us. We have the mission ‘to repair the world,’ what the Jews call Tikkun olam.”
Evangelization Focus
~Cardinal Seán O'Malley
