Brightmoor Pastor’s Alliance Community Vision and Project Charter

 

The Pastors and Spiritual Leaders serving in the Brightmoor and Rosedale communities have observed many problems detrimental to the health and welfare of the community. These observations revealed problems ranging from violence and drug abuse to broken marriages and premarital pregnancies; from corruption and self-enrichment by public officials to children left to be trained in the street by tutors devoid of moral discipline; and from schools that warehouse instead of teaching to seniors cowering in fear and loneliness. These problems are viewed by some as a simple expression of physical decay of buildings and improper use of land, we see a far more complex expression, the decay of the moral, spiritual and economic structures of a people. Not all of these people live in Brightmoor.

The solution to these problems, we believe, lies in a people-focused approach that prioritizes the physical and spiritual renewal, and economic stability of the people. Not all those people live in Brightmoor.

Parish Note...

 

Christ the King Parish has a unique relationship with the Church in Bethlehem and Jerusalem, by way of Sr. Fiorentina, who spent a sabbatical year there a few years ago. At our Christmas Cantata, which we performed at St. Fabian, we dedicated the free will offering (after expenses) to the Church at Bethlehem. For more information about the ministries of the Latin Patriarch in Jerusalem, you can log on to the website:

Christ the King/St. Fabian Collaboration Efforts

Last spring, out of a mutual discussion between Father Vic and Father Brian Chabala, pastor of St. Fabian Parish, it was decided that the two parishes would collaborate with one another, with the goal of offering each other opportunities to grow in faith and service, realizing that each parish has distinct gifts to offer the other. 

Both pastoral councils visited each other, and the enthusiasm and energy to begin this collaboration effort is high. Since then, each parish has formed a committee, and these committees have met several times over the past year, and are continuing on an on-going basis to meet, discussing how we can enrich the spiritual lives of our parishioners through sharing our different resources.
