Bishop Michele to launch pastoral visit in Treviso

Bishop Michele will launch a multi-year pastoral visit to parish communities in the Diocese of Treviso with an opening meeting on Saturday, October 10. The meeting will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the San Nicolò temple in Treviso.

The bishop's visit will cover all Christian communities organized into 47 pastoral collaborations. Guided by the four themes of visiting, recognizing, evaluating, and promoting, the process involves a period of discernment. Through this discernment, communities will identify local strengths and fragilities. The Council of Collaboration will then work with a diocesan team to set the specific dates for the bishop's visits.

Following these visits, Bishop Michele will provide the collaborative communities with perspectives on how to consolidate or change their pastoral work. These efforts will be managed by local participation bodies. The October 10 meeting will include prayer and a biblical reflection by Roberta Ronchiato titled "We have received the Spirit of God to know what God has given us."
