National Catholic ministerial organizations worked throughout the first decade of the 21st century to collaborate in supporting excellence in pastoral ministry through the study of the emerging models of pastoral leadership in the Catholic Church, and applying these models to parish life. The life of the church depends upon sustained collaboration at all levels. The organizations which formed this project researched and reported on a wide variety of contemporary ministry strengths and challenges. Their work is summarized in the reports provided here and the publications which are available for purchase. Additional archival information will be added in the future.
