We are Here to Serve You

Father Emery N. Longanga Parochial Administrator Father Carlos J. Rojas Parochial Vicar Robin V. Riley Secretary/Bookkeeper Joseph Havelka Faith Formation Coordinator Merlita Jones Hospitality Ministry Norberto Vidro Hispanic Ministry Joseph DeCresie Maintenance Shirley Schuler Housekeeper

From the Pastor’s Desk: Dear friends, My different and continual interactions with the different ministries and parishioners here at Holy Cross have allowed me to discover and appreciate the vitality of our parish family. So much is realized every day and still there are lots of potentialities. These initiatives and energies could achieve much more if they were systematically guided and organized within the scope of a parish pastoral program and mission. To implement the latter, there is need for a parish structure called Parish Pastoral Council, which we do not have in our parish. What is a Parish Pastoral Council?

The Parish Pastoral Council is a consultative body (8 – 12 people) that strives to discern the movement of the Holy Spirit among God’s people in the parish. Through reflection, prayer, planning, motivation and support, the parish pastoral council assists the pastor with discerning and achieving the overall good of the parish and its mission. It serves the pastor by helping identify and encourage those ministries or services that are needed for the growth of a living parish community, evaluated and implemented in a regular basis. Specifically, the parish pastoral council’s purpose is to enhance the process of:

pastoral planning (parish vision for the future) developing pastoral programs improving pastoral services evaluating the pastoral effectiveness of various programs and

services.

As we can see, serving on the council is a ministry to the whole parish; and given the nature of the council, a member needs an awareness of the Church and its mission and openness to the Holy Spirit. Therefore, potential candidates should be:

baptized and confirmed Roman Catholic in good standing with the Church

active participant in the parish life with sound morals and an understanding of and commitment to the

Church of Vatican II demonstrating the gifts of wisdom and prudence willing to commit their time, talent and wisdom in a consultative and collaborative manner

After reading this posting, I invite to you to pray, and to consider and respond to the following question: Am I called to or do I know someone who can serve as a member of the Parish Pastoral Council? Then, after discernment, I invite you to nominate someone you feel fits the criteria above as a member of our Parish Pastoral Council. There is a box in the narthex where you can drop your nomination note. You can also send your nominee name to me directly at [email protected]. Thank you for your help and participation. And let us continue to pray for one another and for our parish family. Fr. Emery Longanga Parochial Administrator

Queridos amigos, Mis interacciones diferentes y continuas con los diferentes ministerios y feligreses aquí en Holy Cross me han permitido descubrir y apreciar la vitalidad de nuestra familia parroquial. Tanto se realiza todos los días y aún hay muchas potencialidades. Estas iniciativas y energías podrían lograr mucho más si fueran guiadas y organizadas sistemáticamente dentro del alcance de un programa y misión pastoral parroquial. Para implementar esto último, se necesita una estructura parroquial llamada Consejo Pastoral Parroquial, que no tenemos en nuestra parroquia. ¿Qué es un Consejo Pastoral Parroquial? El Consejo Pastoral Parroquial es un cuerpo consultivo (8 a 12 personas) que se esfuerza por discernir el movimiento del Espíritu Santo entre el pueblo de Dios en la parroquia. A través de la reflexión, la oración, la planificación, la motivación y el apoyo, el consejo pastoral de la parroquia ayuda al pastor a discernir y lograr el bien general de la parroquia y su misión. Sirve al pastor ayudando a identificar y alentar a aquellos ministerios o servicios que se necesitan para el crecimiento de una comunidad parroquial viviente, evaluados e implementados regularmente. Específicamente, el propósito del consejo pastoral parroquial es mejorar el proceso de:

planificación pastoral (visión de la parroquia para el futuro) Desarrollar programas pastorals mejorar los servicios pastorals evaluar la efectividad pastoral de varios programas y

servicios. Como podemos ver, servir en el concilio es un ministerio para toda la parroquia; y dada la naturaleza del concilio, un miembro necesita una conciencia de la Iglesia y su misión y apertura al Espíritu Santo. Por lo tanto, los posibles candidatos deberían ser:

Católico Romano bautizado y confirmado en buena posición con la Iglesia

participante activo en la vida parroquial con buenas costumbres, comprensión y compromiso con la

Iglesia del Vaticano II demostrando los dones de la sabiduría y la prudencia dispuestos a dedicar su tiempo, talento y sabiduría en una

consulta y forma colaborativa Después de leer esta publicación, los invito a orar, a

considerar y responder a la siguiente pregunta: ¿Me llaman o conozco a alguien que pueda servir como miembro del Consejo Pastoral de la Parroquia? Luego, después del discernimiento, los invito a nominar a alguien que sientan que cumple con los criterios anteriores como miembro de nuestro Consejo Pastoral Parroquial. Hay un recuadro en el nártex donde puedes soltar tu nota de nominación. También puede enviarme su nombre nominado directamente a [email protected].

Gracias por su ayuda y participación. Y sigamos orando por los demás y por nuestra familia parroquial.aå Fr. Emery Longanga Parochial Administrator

More often they fade away from a gradual lack of attentiveness, letting things slide, taking each other for granted. Join us for a Worldwide Marriage Encoun-ter and discover God’s plan for joy, romance and passion in your marriage. Join us on the next Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend Novem-ber 12 -14 at the Franciscan Center in Tampa. Space is limited, so apply now!
