At the Service of Parishes and Communities

Rule of Life, n.41

We will make our parishes into

authentic communities

shaped by the Eucharist,

source and center of their life.

 

They shall be:

places of proclamation and the living of the gospel,

places of prayer, eucharistic adoration and festive celebration,

places of sharing and fellowship,

places of freedom and human development.

 

United among themselves,

our religious engaged in parish ministry

shall collaborate in a special way with committed lay people.
