Initiation in Multiple-Parish Communities—
An Opportunity?
By Jim Schellman, Executive Director
For some years now parishes
throughout North America have
linked, merged, or clustered in
some way into multiple-parish
communities. They have been
busy learning how to be about
the Church’s mission of evangelization and how this takes flesh
in the ministries of initiation in
this new context for many. This
is a form of on-the-job training
Jim Schellman
for many pastoral leaders in
these parishes. This learning is
sometimes done with good
knowledge of the Church’s teaching on evangelization
and the vision and practice of the Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults (RCIA), sometimes not. With earnest
intent and often by virtue of circumstances beyond their
control, notably, a decrease in the number of priests in
many places, pastoral ministers are working hard to serve
their newly reconfigured communities of faith as they
learn how to apprentice newcomers to Christ in the
Catholic tradition.
• clarify challenges and opportunities for RCIA
in these settings
• develop initial ideas for best practices in these
settings and what is needed to help form pastoral ministers in them
• encourage and support one another!
Four Bases of Catechumenal Formation
Consultation participants shared their various experiences of multi-parish communities, ranging from those
with a full, continuing life in the individual parishes and
a loose linkage in staffs and programming to an altogether newly configured community where several independent parishes had formerly existed, and many variations
between. This sharing was rich and very challenging. The
gathering of experience was then described in terms of
the four bases of catechumenal formation described in
para. 75 of the RCIA:
• Catechesis (Word)
• Liturgical Celebration
• Community Life as a Whole
• Apostolic Witness/Service
Determined to get hold of these developments and be of
use, and with the help of a generous grant from the
ACTA Foundation, the North American Forum on the
Catechumenate sponsored a consultation this past
October in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Specially identified participants were invited from throughout the
United States and Canada. About 30 assembled for a
two-day, specially designed process under the direction of
Mark Mogilka and Kate Wiskus, co-authors of Pastoring
Multiple Parishes: An Emerging Model of Pastoral
Leadership (see “Resource Review” in this issue of the
Forum Newsletter). The goals of the consultation were
several. To—
• gather the varieties of experience of
linked/clustered parishes and their impact on
implementation of adult initiation (RCIA)
Many practical issues surfaced, some of which concerned the linking process as such. Among these were:
care for the identity of the individual parishes even as
they forge a new corporate identity; the need for a collaborative ministerial approach and visionary management of the process of linking; a focus on mission and
how all else needs to serve this; clarity as to roles of
existing staff in the new configuration; a commitment
to resolve conflict in an open way conducive to the
good of the whole; logistical questions related to the
who, what, and where of formation and the celebration
of the rites. The participants dreamed a little about how
these issues might be addressed in the best of circumstances and resources and then turned to identifying
challenges and opportunities for initiation in the present and future of multiple-parish life.

Challenges and Opportunities for
Initiation in Multiple-Parish Communities
As anyone experienced in the ministries of adult initiation knows well, the strengths and weaknesses of the
process in any given community have much to do
with the strengths and weakness of the parish’s life as
such. This came out in the part of the consultation
focused on challenges and opportunities for initiation
in linked parishes. After a great deal of work brainstorming what these were, the participants weighed
which were the greatest.
Chief challenges for initiation in these contexts that were
identified were:
• staffing patterns: insufficient numbers of staff,
lack of shared vision and lack of formation
and training
• a lack of communication within and between
communities and leaders
• the need to help linked communities reflect
together prayerfully in order to align their
vision and mission with Christ’s in this new
configuration
• a lack of understanding of the RCIA process
Chief opportunities, again in weighted order, were:
• opportunity to shape whole of parish life by
the vision of the RCIA
• from parochialism to a larger sense of community—moving beyond concern for what is
good just for my own parish to what is good
for this larger Catholic community
• a wider and perhaps deeper pool of qualified
sponsors and other ministers and more opportunities for training them
Strategies to Address
Challenges and Opportunities
Various levels of Church life were identified as arenas
needing assistance. These included parish, diocese, and
the national levels in both the U.S. and Canada. Forum
was asked to offer appropriate leadership and resource
assistance at each level. Many ideas were generated, for
example, continue to research what is being done and
what “best practices” are emerging in initiation in the
context of the varieties of linked parishes, ensure writing
that makes the fruits of this research available to many,
gather another consultation to go deeper, pilot an institute that will offer what is emerging and help form pastoral leaders in best practices.
Please stay tuned as Forum sifts the results of the consultation and develops ways to carry its energy and vision
forward. Within the next two years we plan to develop
and offer an institute to begin to form parish ministers
more intentionally in the practice of initiation in multiple-parish settings. I invite those immersed in this experience to be in touch with me to share your insights and
emerging wisdom: jschellman@naforum.org. Thank you!

RESOURCE REVIEW
Pastoring Multiple Parishes:
An Emerging Model of Pastoral
Leadership
By Mark Mogilka and Kate Wiskus
Published by Loyola Press, $11.95 (U.S.), 169 pages
Reviewed by Jim Schellman
In a number of dioceses throughout North America, the
process of linking parishes is well underway. How
thoughtfully is this development taking place, and with
what vision and care? How might it be done better?
In Pastoring Multiples Parishes, Mark Mogilka and Kate
Wiskus show that they have listened closely to a number
of parish leaders who have been immediately involved in
this experience. And out of this listening they articulate
ways in which the experience can be improved and
sometimes become an opportunity for new vision and
mission in parish life.
The book is one outcome of the “Emerging Models of
Pastoral Leadership Project.” The project’s guiding vision
is of a pastoral leadership that is increasingly collaborative, well-prepared, and focused on Christ’s mission. For
full information please visit www.emergingmodels.org.
Six national ministry organizations are cosponsors of the
work, and two of them have had particular responsibility
for the “Multiple Parish Pastoring” part of the overall
project—the Conference for Pastoral Planning and
Council Development (CPPCD) and the National
Federation of Priests’ Councils (NFPC).
Based on research reports, a 2006 symposium, and two
pilot training programs with 400 pastoral leaders taking
part, Mogilka and Wiskus introduce the increasing
effects on pastoral ministry of decreasing numbers of
priests, offer a proactive approach to the process of transition this requires, develop the role and responsibilities
of the pastor and parish staff in these “multiple-parish
ministry” situations, present six basic models that are
emerging for multiple-parish leadership, identify traits of
healthy collaboration and “best practices” in the transition to a multiple-parish community, and look to the
future of these developments.
Pastoring Multiple Parishes is a bracing read. Typical
solutions to the shortage of priests have been parish closures, creation of larger parishes, appointment of parish
life coordinators, recruitment of foreign-born ministers,
and the assignment of priests to multiple-parish communities. The multiple-parish solution is the fastest growing
of these, and the authors anticipate that before long
more than half of parishes in the United States will be
sharing a pastor in some way. Bracing indeed!

RESOURCE REVIEW
The transition to a multiple-parish community can be
daunting and often threatening. If this is so for the communities involved, it is as much or more so for the pastoral staffs. The study identifies five areas of concern that
came up again and again for staffs: the quality of communication, the need for a sense of stability in ministry,
the pastor’s ease with collaboration, and the intentional
formation and supervision of staff through the transition
and following. Many of us will know that these are
issues for many parishes even apart from the major
change of combining them in some way. These then necessarily become points of strain in the uncertain circumstances of parishes linking. Mogilka and Wiskus helpfully develop some of the traits to help make such transitions healthy and life-giving:
• the articulation of common goals and priorities and
a unity that flows from this
• stability achieved through success—folks see some
gains from shared resources and life and so experience a level of satisfaction and stability that
encourages the process forward
• stewardship of resources is held as a governing
principle—combining and distinguishing human
and material resources as needed for successful
multiple-parish life and ministry
• growth—when parishes linking begin to move
from a concern for survival to a sense of possibility
and see benefits in increased membership, participation and sense of ownership
• balance—a lived experience of how the needs of
individual parishes and those of the linkage as a
whole can be met and enhanced as a result of the
linkage
• energy—Pastoral staffs are invited throughout the
process to experience new energy and a deeper
sense of mission in a wider, less parochial context
The increase in multiple-parish communities has huge
and ongoing implications for the Church’s mission of
evangelization and how this takes flesh in the ministries
of initiation. Who takes leadership responsibility for the
initiation process? At which site is this or that liturgy of
the process celebrated? Does each linked community
have its own responsibility for the apprenticeship formation in the Catholic way of life? What of this is shared,
what separate? Where does catechetical formation happen
and when? Where are the trained catechists to lead this
formation? Where and how is the Triduum celebrated?
And so on. These are concerns that the North American
Forum on the Catechumenate is actively addressing.
With a lot of hard work we expect to be able to pilot an
institute on initiation in the context of multiple-parish
communities in the next two years. Please stay tuned!
