The next step

We unite Central Minnesota Catholics to protect our parishes and live Christ’s teachings every day.

Each parish will have to set a core group, communication is key. Each group should have:

1) Leader/ Main coordinator- person must be good at multitasking and taking charge. Must be able to handle sensitive issues with charity, clarity, and decisive action

2)Procurator- (maybe leader) this person must be able to receive mail in a timely manner, not a frequent traveler

3) Runner/ Communication people- have a few people for this task, they will assist the leader in researching, getting in contact with other parishioners, and other tasks such as social media.

4) Spokesperson- this could be an overlapping job, able to handle press and questions: will not over share important confidential information.

5) Counselors- someone with knowledge who knows how this work within diocese/ parish, can be former employees, clerics, or diocesan leaders. they with assist in strategies.

6) Priest Outreach- you will assist the main coordinator who is in communication with the Diocesan Core Group (DCG) in how to talk to your priest(s) or neighboring priest(s) so they know their rights, and that then Bishop cannot punish them for not closing parishes and churches.

No church is safe

Just because your church is surviving this first round of closers does not mean your church is safe.

The parameters used for round one: accessibility, no rotations, priest limitations to 3 masses

Other parameters/ factors:

80% of parishioners have to be within 20 minutes of a Sunday mass

one primary church: one partner church (considering future expansion space)

50% attendance or higher

routine building operations at less than 25% of plate collections

budget without sublimation of fundraising/ special events

Please prayerfully consider joining the fight. Together we can keep our communities and churches open for the future. Canon Law 1222.s2 states Churches can only be closed for a grave reason.
