Pre-Convention Seminar
Intentional Presbyterates: Making It Happen
Rev. J.
Ronald Knott
February 20,
2:00-
4:00 pm
The
Basic Plan for the Ongoing Formation of Priests ends with
the important Vatican II observation that priests are not priests
one by one, but serve the mission of the church in a presbyterate
with the bishop. The Basic Plan notes that this
corporate sense of priestly identity is yet to be fully developed
even in official documents but is clearly emerging as an important
direction for the future.
Beginning with this observation, Father Ronald Knott wrote
his book Intentional Presbyterates: Claiming Our Common Sense
of Purpose as Diocesan Priests. In this seminar, he will
present an overview of his book and how it is being used around
the country as a discussion starter on presbyteral unity, as well
as offer some insights on changes that priests could make to
unleash the power of the presbyterate as a team. |
