Diocesan Missions Commission Holds Initial Meeting
PERTH AMBOY,
NEW JERSEY – The newly formed Diocesan Missions Commission, established in
response to renewed interest expressed at the XXI Diocesan Council to take the
message of Holy Orthodoxy into areas without established Orthodox parishes,
held their first meeting on Thursday, October 15th. The session was
hosted by Protopresbyter Michael S. Rosco, Chairman of the Commission. Also in
attendance were: Protopresbyter Frank P. Miloro, Diocesan Chancellor; Pani
Constance Miloro; Father Andrew Fetchina and Donald Lauffler.
Much fruitful discussion on mission activities and
evangelization took place. An extensive study will take place throughout the
country to determine which regions and geographic areas might be best suited
for the establishment of a Diocesan mission. A manual will be prepared to
assist newly organized missions, mapping out the steps that are needed to
assist in their success. A fundraising campaign will be developed so that the
Diocese may be in a position over the course of several years to literally
build a church in these targeted communities. It is hoped that more information
concerning the “Build It And They Will Come” Program can be announced in the
near future. Tentative plans were also discussed for a “Missions Conference” in
the spring at Camp
Nazareth.
