This is a question for every Catholic... Am I a person who goes out of myself? How many pastoral visits or outreaches do I make each week beyond those of meeting a specific need? For example, do I meet a new person at Mass each week? For priests and deacons, do I make a home visit which is not need-driven?
What is the response when I do go out to people? When an outreach goes well, what does it do for me? When it doesn’t go well, what do I learn about myself?
How does our community welcome families wanting baptism, marriage, a preference certificate, or a funeral? How does it reach out to the sick, the lonely and the lost? How does the parish’s presence in the home continue after the “event”?
How do we reach out to families where there is someone in prison, suffering from drug or alcohol addiction, sickness, domestic violence, poverty, parenting alone or unemployed, etc?
We all see the social ills in our community. How present are we as a Church to these families?
How as a parish community or a school can we become more present to people not
practicing their faith, so we are able to share our faith and pray with people?
