                         TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

.FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

                       

                        At the beginning of the year representatives from our parish were selected to work

    together with other parish representatives in our Camden City Deanery.  Their purpose was to

    propose recommendations for the reconfiguration of the Churches in the City.  The

    recommendation for St. Joe’s Polish was “One Priest – One Parish” Model.  This was submitted to

    the Diocesan Planning Commission (DPC) in May for approval/suggestions.  The DPC did not

    affirm this recommendation.

                        Their observations and suggestions were the following:

1.       “How does the recommended staffing plan serve to initiate or support the 6 pastoral priorities of the Diocese?

2.       With only a small number (105) persons attending Mass each weekend, it will not be possible to assign a full time pastor to St. Joe’s.  With what other parishes could St. Joe’s most effectively merge or cluster with?  (Provide data for your answer)

3.       Without ongoing ministries or outreach to neighbors in Camden City, are all of the parish resources absorbed by building repairs and maintenance?  (Provide a narrative of the parish life of St. Joe’s and its outreach ministries)

4.       Could the small community of Polish-American Catholics of the area be hosted for liturgical celebrations in a neighboring parish?  (If so, what would be your recommendation as to a location?)”

 

  Given this feedback from the DPC, it is now up to all the planning committees from the Churches in

  the City of Camden to develop responses to these observations and questions about St. Joe’s Parish

  as well as the other parishes in the City in several Deanery meetings between now and January.

  The deadline for the reconsidered recommendation for St. Joe’s and the other churches in Camden

  City is January 28, 2008.

  NB:  The recommendations for the other Churches in Camden City were also rejected.
