Parish Resource Guide
A resource guide for parishes
Take the Way of the Gospel is the Archdiocese of Melbourne’s response to Pope Francis’ dream of a ‘missionary option’ (EG §27). For parishes, it is an invitation to come together in prayer and discern how they might grow as vibrant, vital, and viable communities of faith, so that a fresh energy and apostolic vigour can animate us well into the future.
The image you see below is the Framework for Parish Renewal, and everything in this resource guide is designed to help you discern and unpack this Framework, and chart a course for renewal.
Choose:
Explore the vibrant, vital, and viable dimensions of the Framework to see where your parish community needs to start.
Discern:
Using the discernment resources under each Discern section, clergy and parish leaders can come together to pray about what that dimension means for them and what areas might need animating.
Animate:
Chart a path forward, selecting any one of the focus topics under the Animate sections. Inside you will find tools and resources to support your journey towards renewal.
