Name change

My predecessor, Dan Connors, had already begun a process of re-orienting the focus of Today’s Parish before I came on board. His intent was to provide a clear emphasis on forming parish ecclesial ministers, both lay and ordained.

The 2006-2007 year, readers will see several new developments that reflect that emphasis. Perhaps the most visible will be the new name on the cover. Starting with the September 2006 issue Today’s Parish will become Today’s Parish Minister. This has the benefit of retraining the “Today’s Parish” brand and also focusing on the person the magazine is intended for.

Some of the other new elements include new associations with both Boston College and the National Association of Lay Ministers, an increased focus on pastors as ministerial leaders, and an increased emphasis on training for all parish ministers.
