The fourth in a series of Webinars organised by the AMRI Lay Mission Committee
A Priest-less Parish – Opportunity or Threat?
With the fall in the numbers of priests and religious in Ireland and the decline in vocations, the challenges facing the Irish Catholic Church, with 1,360 parishes and 2,640 churches, is at crisis point. Yet Irish people continue to value their faith and are willing to share in the responsibility of ministry in the Church. Can the Synodal journey in Ireland empower lay people to take more responsibility for leading parish ministry? If increasing lay participation is the goal what practical steps can help fast track this?
