An Area Catholic Community consists of two or more parishes in a given area. Every parish in the Diocese of Saint Cloud is part of an Area Catholic Community. All Area Catholic Communities will collaborate to provide for the pastoral and spiritual needs of all. As Area Catholic Communities share resources, talents, and efforts we hope to reenergize Catholics so all parishes thrive in the Diocese of Saint Cloud.
The following are values that provide the foundation for our Area Catholic Communities:
As Catholic Christians by virtue of our baptism we have the responsibility to carry out the priestly, prophetic and kingly roles in the parish and community
Every parish has something unique and special to bring to the Area Catholic Community
Leaders from each parish together play an important role in providing the leadership for the needs of the whole Area Catholic Community
Every Area Catholic Community celebrates the Sunday Eucharist weekly
