Use the media , newspapers, Sunday bulletins. Share examples of what is happening. Let the people know that right here in our church changes are occurring. Share the Rochester experience. The Bishop and the pastors need to get on the same page.
Pastors do have credibility.
We believe what comes from our parish priest -but some aren't 'on line' yet. The pastor is critical. The diocese needs to be more forceful. Identify the simple message and promulgate it . Maybe we need a letter to all of the parishes from Bishop Moynihan.
