Instruction on Pastoral Conversion of the Parish Community

The ecclesiological reflection of the second Vatican council, together with the considerable social and cultural changes of recent decades, has resulted in various particular Churches having to reorganise the manner in which the pastoral care of Parish communities are assigned. This has made it possible to initiate new experiences, enhancing the guidance of pastors, a harmonious synthesis of charisms and vocations at the service of the proclamation of the Gospel, which better correspond to the demands of evangelisation today.
