Collaborative Parishes

Collaborative parishes are church communities that share resources and work together under a common leadership, rather than functioning as separate entities. This arrangement allows multiple nearby parishes to coordinate activities, clergy, and programs, often to better serve their congregations and address changing needs. It promotes cooperation while maintaining individual parish identities, helping sustain vibrant faith communities in areas where resources or priests may be limited. Ultimately, collaborative parishes aim to foster unity and efficiency within the Church’s local structure.
