Parish ministry
Parish ministry involves the dedicated service and leadership within a local church community, known as a parish. Church ministers, such as priests, pastors, or lay leaders, provide spiritual guidance, administer sacraments, and support congregants through worship, education, and outreach. The goal is to nurture faith, foster a sense of belonging, and address the practical and spiritual needs of the community. Parish ministry emphasizes living out faith in relationships and service, helping individuals grow spiritually while creating a welcoming environment for all.
