      It has been more than two years since the Bishop of Oakland, Michael C. Barber, S.J., called for the formulation of task force to assess how to meet the challenges of declining Mass attendance and underutilized parish facilities in our diocese. These challenges are not unique to the Diocese of Oakland. Dioceses throughout the United States are impacted with similar challenges.

        Mission Alignment Process Phase 1 Implementation Report
        Background


        It has been more than two years since the Bishop of Oakland, Michael C. Barber, S.J., called for the formulation of a task force to assess how to meet the challenges of declining Mass attendance and underutilized parish facilities in our diocese. These challenges are not unique to the Diocese of Oakland. Dioceses throughout the United States are impacted with similar challenges[1].

        The priests of the diocese were asked to recommend candidates to contribute to this task force, and in March 2021 this task force was introduced as the Mission Alignment Process (MAP) Commission. The Commission was composed of 15 members representing laity and clergy of the diocese. The composition of the MAP Commission is contained in Appendix 1.

        The Commission commenced meeting in April 2021 to evaluate and guide the parishes of the diocese in a process of self-reflection and renewal. Data from our parishes, parishioners, schools, priests, and diocesan demographics were analyzed and a presentation was developed for presentation to the presbyterate of the Diocese. This data included facts about parish-by-parish Mass attendance, the historical decline in priests serving in parish ministry, and projections of a decline in the number of future priests under 70 years old for parish ministry. Over a period of 14 months, a series of additional meetings with clergy and parish and school lay leadership at the region and deanery levels were held. Input was sought for dealing with these challenges and to increase our focus on Bishop Barber’s three priorities for the parishes. See Appendix 2 for an explanation of these priorities.

        In September 2022 an interim report was produced by MAP co-chairs, Very Reverend Lawrence D’Anjou, Vicar General and Mr. Rick Medeiros, Chancellor to the diocese. This report contains the information provided at the region and deanery meetings and the feedback received. In November 2022 Bishop Barber arranged 14 additional meetings of the priests assigned to each deanery to discuss feedback from the region and deanery consultative meetings and to deliberate on a path forward for each deanery. This path forward included the consideration of clustering, merging, or closing of parishes. See Appendix 3 for an explanation of these terms. These meetings began with an extended time of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Our Lord assures his Church, “I am with you always.” (Mt 28:20).

        Recent Developments
        On May 8, 2023 Bishop Barber announced that, as there are over 300 potential lawsuits against the Diocese of Oakland brought about by passage of California Assembly Bill 218, the diocese is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Though MAP did not anticipate this eventuality, the work done through MAP will be useful as the courts assess how the Diocese can restructure and constitute a source of funds for settlements of cases. Aware that the Chapter 11 process will affect how MAP is implemented, it has been decided that a phased approach to MAP implementation is best. This report contains recommendations for MAP Phase 1 implementation. These are expected to begin in the 2nd half of 2023.

        Moving Forward
        Bishop Barber recognizes that these changes will be a challenge. But we have a track record of successful parish clusters, mergers, and closures which we have learned from and will improve upon. The Diocese intends to take the greatest care to help ensure that every Catholic is assisted as best as possible in each parish transition so that each parish may become an even more vibrant and faith-filled Catholic community. The Diocese is assembling resources to assist parishes as they transition.

        On the topic of “Healing the World” at a general audience in September 2020 Pope Francis said, “Everyone must be listened to. Everyone — those on the top, those on the bottom. True change comes about with everyone, all the people,” who make up a community. From the beginning, our Mission Alignment Process has been about engaging our clergy and the people of our parishes and schools in a process of self-reflection and renewal. With God’s help and with the resilience of our common faith, we press on to bring our hopes for parish renewal and revitalization to fruition.

        Appendix 2
        Bishop Michael C. Barber’s Three Parish Priorities
        1. Greater attention needs to be paid to the Sunday Mass, and everything associated with it: an intelligent and inspirational homily, sacred music that communicates the presence of God, friendly and warm hospitality. We do the “horizontal church” well, and that is important -- but what about the “vertical” dimension of worship? Celebration of the Sunday liturgy should be a personal and communal encounter with Jesus Christ. Pope Francis said that every Mass should be like the experience Peter, James and John had at the Transfiguration. They were so overwhelmed at the beauty, mystery and transcendence of Jesus, they exclaimed, “It is good for us to be here!” How many of our parishioners can say that on Sunday?
        2. We need to continue to emphasize the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. The “Year of Mercy” has been a big success in our diocese, from people coming back to Confession to be reconciled with God after many years, to students and young people who have discovered the joy of helping the poor and destitute. The Catholic Church is always having a “Year of Mercy.” It is what we are and what we do.
        3. We need to form our people as Missionary Disciples. It is not enough just to practice our faith on our own. We need to spread our faith. We do that by sharing it -- by communicating the joy and consolation we have received from Jesus with others. How can we practice Pope Francis’ call for engagement with social justice? How can we grow in our spiritual life?


        Appendix 3
        Definition of Terms related to MAP implementation.
        Cluster: Two or more parishes remain separate and retain their names but share one or more priests and one administration.

        Implementación de la Fase 1 del Proceso de Alineación de la Misión
        Contexto de Fondo


        Han pasado más de dos años desde que el Obispo de Oakland, Michael C. Barber, S.J., pidió se formara una comisión de trabajo para evaluar cómo enfrentar los desafíos de la disminución de la asistencia a misa y las instalaciones parroquiales subutilizadas en nuestra diócesis. Estos desafíos no son exclusivos de la Diócesis de Oakland. En los Estados Unidos, las diócesis se ven afectadas por desafíos similares. [1]

        Se le pidió a los sacerdotes de la diócesis que recomendaran candidatos para contribuir a este grupo de trabajo, y en marzo del 2021 este grupo se introdujo como la Comisión del Proceso de Alineación de la Misión (MAP) – por sus siglas en Ingles. La Comisión estaba compuesta por 15 miembros que representaban a laicos y clérigos de la diócesis. La composición de la Comisión MAP se detalla en el Apéndice 1.
        La Comisión comenzó a reunirse en abril del 2021 para evaluar y guiar a las parroquias de la diócesis en un proceso de autorreflexión y renovación. Se analizaron los datos de nuestras parroquias, feligreses, escuelas, sacerdotes y demografía diocesana y se desarrolló una presentación para ser presentada al presbiterio de la Diócesis. Estos datos incluían datos sobre la asistencia a misa, parroquia por parroquia, la disminución histórica de sacerdotes que ejercen el ministerio parroquial y las proyecciones de una disminución en el número de futuros sacerdotes menores de 70 años para el ministerio parroquial. Durante un período de 14 meses, se llevaron a cabo una serie de reuniones adicionales con el clero y el liderazgo laico de la parroquia y la escuela a nivel de la región y el decanato. Se buscó información para hacer frente a estos desafíos y para aumentar nuestro enfoque en las tres prioridades del Obispo Barber para las parroquias. Vea el Apéndice 2 para una explicación de estas prioridades.

        En septiembre del 2022,  los copresidentes de MAP, el Padre Lawrence D'Anjou, Vicario General y el Sr. Rick Medeiros, Canciller de la diócesis, produjeron un informe provisional. Este informe contiene la información proporcionada en las reuniones de la región y del decanato y los comentarios recibidos. En noviembre del 2022, el Obispo Barber organizó 14 reuniones adicionales de los sacerdotes asignados a cada decanato para discutir los comentarios de la región y las reuniones consultivas del decanato, y para deliberar sobre el camino a seguir para cada decanato. El camino a seguir incluía la consideración de agrupar en “cluster”, fusionar/unir o cerrar parroquias. Consulte el Apéndice 3 para obtener una explicación de estos términos. Estas reuniones comenzaron con un tiempo prolongado de oración ante el Santísimo Sacramento. Nuestro Señor asegura a su Iglesia: “Yo estoy con vosotros todos los días hasta el fin del mundo”. (Mt 28:20).

        Desarrollos recientes
        El 8 de mayo del 2023, el Obispo Barber anunció que, como hay más de 300 posibles demandas contra la Diócesis de Oakland a raíz de la aprobación del Proyecto de Ley 218 de la Asamblea de California, la diócesis se está declarando en bancarrota del Capítulo 11. Aunque MAP no anticipó esta posibilidad, el trabajo realizado a través de MAP será útil a medida que los tribunales evalúen cómo la Diócesis puede reestructurarse y constituir una fuente de fondos para la resolución de los casos. Consciente de que el proceso del Capítulo 11 afectará la forma en que se implementa el MAP, se ha decidido que lo mejor es un enfoque gradual para la implementación del MAP. Este informe contiene recomendaciones para la implementación de la Fase 1 del MAP. Se espera que estos comiencen en la segunda mitad del año 2023.

        Avanzando
        El obispo Barber reconoce que estos cambios serán un desafío. Pero tenemos un historial de exitosas agrupaciones, fusiones y cierres parroquiales de los que hemos aprendido y mejoraremos. La Diócesis tiene la intención de tomar el mayor cuidado para ayudar a garantizar que cada católico sea asistido lo mejor posible en cada transición parroquial, para que cada parroquia pueda convertirse en una comunidad católica aún más vibrante y llena de fe. La Diócesis está reuniendo recursos para ayudar a las parroquias a medida que hacen esta transición.

        El Papa Francisco dijo sobre el tema "Sanar el mundo" en una audiencia general en septiembre de 2020: “Todos deben ser escuchados. Todos, los de arriba, los de abajo.  El verdadero cambio se produce con todos, con todas las personas", que conforman una comunidad. Desde el principio, nuestro Proceso de Alineación de la Misión (MAP) ha consistido en involucrar a nuestro clero y a las personas de nuestras parroquias y escuelas en un proceso de autorreflexión y renovación. Con la ayuda de Dios y con la resistencia de nuestra fe común, seguiremos adelante para llevar a buen término nuestras esperanzas de renovación y revitalización parroquial.

        Recomendaciones de la Fase 1 del MAP:
        Fusión de Christ the King-St. Stephen. Completado en abril del 2022
        Fusión de St. Barnabas bajo St. Joseph Basilica, Alameda

        Apéndice 2
        Las tres prioridades parroquiales del obispo Michael C. Barber
         
        1. Necesitamos prestar mayor atención a la Misa dominical, y a todo lo relacionado con ella: una homilía inteligente e inspiradora, música sagrada que comunique la presencia de Dios, una hospitalidad amable y cálida. Hacemos bien la "iglesia horizontal", y eso es importante, pero ¿qué pasa con la dimensión "vertical" de la adoración? La celebración de la liturgia dominical debe ser un encuentro personal y comunitario con Jesucristo. El Papa Francisco dijo que cada Misa debe ser como la experiencia que Pedro, Santiago y Juan tuvieron en la Transfiguración. Estaban tan abrumados por la belleza, el misterio y la trascendencia de Jesús, que exclamaron: "¡Es bueno para nosotros estar aquí!" ¿Cuántos de nuestros feligreses pueden decir eso el domingo?
        2. Necesitamos continuar enfatizando las Obras de Misericordia Corporales y Espirituales. El "Año de la Misericordia" ha sido un gran éxito en nuestra diócesis, desde personas que regresan a la Confesión para reconciliarse con Dios después de muchos años, hasta estudiantes y jóvenes que han descubierto la alegría de ayudar a los pobres e indigentes. La Iglesia Católica siempre está teniendo un "Año de la Misericordia". Es lo que somos y lo que hacemos.
        3. Necesitamos formar a nuestro pueblo como discípulos misioneros. No es suficiente simplemente practicar nuestra fe por nuestra cuenta. Necesitamos difundir nuestra fe. Lo hacemos compartiéndolo, comunicando el gozo y el consuelo que hemos recibido de Jesús con otros. ¿Cómo podemos practicar el llamado del Papa Francisco para comprometerse con la justicia social? ¿Cómo podemos crecer en nuestra vida espiritual?


        Apéndice 3
        Definición de términos relacionados con la implementación de MAP
