West Allis Catholic Collaboration

WHY COLLABORATION?

The purpose of collaboration is to make it possible for each parish to become more effective in its mission from Jesus Christ. Collaboration is useful because it can be like a yoke that spreads the weight across three oxen, and this will allow them to pull a heavier load together than either is able to move alone. Collaboration has the potential to free up precious resources which can be used for new approaches or allow the parish to reach people on the margins. It focuses neighboring parishes on common goals, reducing competition, and increasing the impact they can have on the residents of a local area together.
