Resource Manual for Christ Jesus, Our Hope Parish Consultation Process
The Resource Manual here explains the steps of the Parish Consultation Process which is currently underway in each parish of the Diocese of Brooklyn.
The manual is meant as a guide for pastors, Parish Pastoral Council Members, Finance Councils, Staff members and Parish Trustees to assist them in moving smoothly through the process in a timely manner.
The manual is accompanied by a series of appendices that are meant to facilitate the process as well. The appendices are listed below as individual links.
