Forming Effective Parish Pastoral Councils - Bishop Gerard Bergie | Ep. 112 | Ron Huntley Leadership Podcast

On this episode, I sit down with Bishop Gerard Bergie of the Diocese of St. Catharines to discuss maximizing missional impact through effective parish pastoral councils.

 

Bishop Bergie is taking action on insights & early learnings collected from the synod results in his diocese. While waiting for the full results to be released sometime in the next year, Bishop Bergie and the Diocese of St. Catharines are being proactive in their development based on insights gathered and encouraging the clergy and lay faithful to partner more intentionally.

 

Their team is taking action on initiatives focused on leadership development, intentional investment, and the formation of parish pastoral councils.

 

They're asking essential questions to gain fresh perspectives on how they can have better communication and participation, along with a renewed understanding of our mission and calling as the Catholic Church in today's world!
