What is the purpose of the Church? What is
the mission of the Parish? Ultimately, why is
it that we have any kind of Parish or local
Catholic Community presence at all? Assuming we know
what the “mission” of the Church is, then what’s the best
way to pursue accomplishing that mission? These ques-
tions are important to ask - most Catholics (not all, to be
sure, but most) have become so accustomed to the
Church’s presence in our Northern NY communities that
we have kind of forgotten what the purpose of it all is.
How would you answer those questions given at the top of
this article? I want us to be asking - and trying to answer -
these questions. It’s not just me. Bishop LaValley wants
us to. The purpose - the mission of Jesus Christ - is to be
carried forward in our time and in our place. How do we
do this? That’s the reason why the Bishop is requiring a
“Pastoral Plan” from each parish grouping in the diocese
by the end of this calendar year. Though we’re now
served by one Pastor, our planning work is not done. We
Catholic faithful in Massena and Louisville still need to
wrestle with those questions. We’ll have public “listening
sessions” to really delve into these matters on March 15th

baptized Christian but is interested in learning about the
Catholic faith, any non active Catholic who has been away

any adult Catholic who would like to learn more about the
Church and mature in their faith, anyone interested in be-
coming Catholic even if you happen to be one already.

we don’t always do them. Lent is an opportunity
to change that. This year we invite you to do
something different. Join Dynamic Catholic for
Best Lent Ever, a free email program featuring
internationally acclaimed speaker and New York Times best-
selling author Matthew Kelly. From Ash Wednesday to Easter,
you’ll get short, inspirational videos from Matthew Kelly and
