Lay Initiative

The mission of the Lay Initiative is to accompany and support those who serve on parish pastoral staffs. This includes lay leaders entrusted with key areas of parish ministry. Whether serving in paid or volunteer roles, these individuals play a vital part in the life and mission of the Church. Recognizing the urgent need for strong lay leadership in collaboration with our parish priests, the Lay Initiative is dedicated to equipping and empowering those who help build up our parish communities. Our priorities are clear: calling, forming and supporting lay pastoral staff in their shared mission of proclaiming Christ and making disciples through the sacramental life of the Church.
