Today, Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski released "Disciples Make Disciples," a new pastoral vision for the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
It's accompanied by “The Way: A Journey Toward Renewal and Vitality,” a new experience that will guide parishes and ministries in formulating a clear vision rooted in evangelization and will assist them in exploring diverse approaches to creating a path for discipleship.
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of St. Louis’ President Dr. Jared Bryson is a part of this project by speaking on the Communion of Care. Below you will see an expert from his section.
“What must be done?
In this question, St. Vincent de Paul urges us to consider new ways in which the Church responds to the needs around us. We are called as Church to take care of the people who entrust themselves to us—not because they are Catholic, but because we are.”
“We certainly have the Gospel message — the Good News of the Lord Jesus — and that brings us life,” Archbishop Rozanski said. “What we need to do is share that Good News of life that Jesus comes to give to us. Many of our people are living that each and every day. What ‘The Way’ will do is help them to articulate how Jesus has transformed their own lives so that they can go about and transform others’ lives with that Good News.”
