PARISH Newsletter statement: Priests are appointed to serve the needs of the cluster, while remaining resident, for as long as possible, in each of the parishes. This team approach to ministry provides the possibility for priests to work together in many new and creative ways. This helps lessen the stress of some responsibilities, while enhancing their ministry to parishioners. By sharing duty and rotating some Masses, clusters can greatly assist priests in their increasing workload. This new approach to ministry will be phased in, and it has already begun with one cluster of parishes in 2005. All parishes are encouraged to prepare for this reality, by starting to work more closely with their neighbouring parishes.
