YOUR PARISH IS A RELATIONAL MICROCOSM
Your parish is a relational microcosm that helps bring many cause-and-effect relationships back together again. Being in collaborative relationships in real life where you live, work and play awakens you to the effects of your actions both on people and on the place itself.
It creates a context where your church can see whether its faith is more than just talk. The local place becomes the testing ground, revealing whether you have learned to love each other and the larger community around you. In essence, the parish is a dare to your faith.
