Challenges &Opportunities
• (1) Invariably Parish groups’ members are committed & content to do whatever task ask of them by their group but not so for the Parish…...
• Unable to see ‘bigger parish picture’. • Seeing only the Micro leaving the
Macro perspective of the Parish.
![Page 31: Dr. Damian Lee 10/7/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813f63550346895daa33e8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Challenges & Opportunities
• Awareness & importance on 3 PPP.• (2) Lack of Integration, Unity & Cooperation within, between & among some Parish groups/ Parish.• These Groups work in divergence rather than convergence.• Leading to a ‘burnt out’ Parish.• Consequence - rebuilding from scratch.
![Page 32: Dr. Damian Lee 10/7/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813f63550346895daa33e8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Challenges & Opportunities
• (3) Resistance to Pastoral change.• Inconsistent commitment to follow
through Pastoral initiatives to address 3 PPP among & between Parish 4 language sectors.
![Page 33: Dr. Damian Lee 10/7/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813f63550346895daa33e8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Challenges & Opportunities
• “ Parish Groups/ministries leaders & members after being trained in their respective group are suppose to grow up & come up to serve at the Parish level”
• Moving from Micro to Macro level of leadership.
![Page 34: Dr. Damian Lee 10/7/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813f63550346895daa33e8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Challenges & Opportunities• (1) Timing is right to come together
to discern because opportunities & providential moments once gone, will never come back.
• Prejudice & Distrust cannot and will not build a Parish. They can only tear us apart.
• (2) Cash in on our Parish Diversity. • Use it as a forte to build and grow
the Parish rather than a crack line around which our Parish fractures.
![Page 35: Dr. Damian Lee 10/7/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813f63550346895daa33e8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

The PGCG
• Until & Unless 4 Parish language Communities could come to terms & own the 3 PPP, the task of coming together to commit & embrace to work as prime Change agents to address PPP, SHC Parish cannot &will not move forward to grow pastorally to a higher level as the worthy and mature mother Parish of KK Archdiocese.
