Purpose:
- Practically every Catholic diocese in the U.S. has some
formation process for lay ecclesial ministers. However, not
every diocese is able to offer the full complement of formation
resources called for in the vision of lay ecclesial ministry
outlined by the U.S. Bishops in their groundbreaking
document, “Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord.” - Our goal is to create a network of formation resources that
can respond to the unique needs of underserved or mission
dioceses.
