TO BE INVOLVED : This objective is directly connected with all the others, for this is how the Kingdom begins to become a reality. Involvement is each person's individual dedication and accountability of time, talents, and gifts in response to the diversity of the needs within the family community, the faith community, and reaching outward to the community in all areas of society.

In five years, the parish community can positively effect involvement by furthering a greater sense of participation and ownership on the part of the members of the community for the life of the parish as a whole.

Actions to promote the above may include: 

-Needs and attitudes assessment

-Survey of parish participation

-Exploration of the social message of the gospels

-Participation in cluster and archdiocesan activities

-Compilation and distribution of service directories

-Ministerial formation and recruitment. Discernment processes.

-Recognition of stewardship responsibilities. Parish and community service.
