Equipping Parish Leaders for Mission

Supporting Parishes to lead like Jesus
Guided by the Holy Spirit, our Parish Support team walks with parish leaders to make new disciples as Jesus commands in the Great Commission. Our goal is to intentionally focus on the fundamental mission of the Church, evangelization.
- Understanding the leadership model of Jesus
- Forming leaders as disciples
- Creating a missionary vision for the parish
- Implementing practical strategies for making disciples
The Archdiocese of Portland is blessed with 124 parishes and missions, each with its unique charisms, traditions, approaches to ministry and parish culture. When it comes to fostering an overall culture of discipleship, it clearly is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach. So let's get started.
