Why is that better than just letting each priest serve two parishes?
A. 1. Not all priests can manage – perhaps because of age or infirmity – to serve two parishes. A Team can use the different strengths of different priests for different purposes. 2. Priests need to relinquish as many administrative tasks as possible. Centralised professional administration would reduce duplication and be more economical. 3. In ten years’ time we can expect to have only three priests to assign to each Area. This is one way of looking a little further ahead.
