Choosing Deafness
If you’re a parent, you know that hearing evaluations
are usually done at a child’s annual physical exam
starting around age four. The little person gets hoisted
up onto the exam table, fitted with a pair of special
headphones, and then they need raise their hand when
they hear a sound.
I bet all of us parents who have sat through one of these
tests with a preschooler — especially a particularly
strong-willed one — have experienced a moment where
we ask ourselves: I wonder if there’s something wrong
with her hearing. Is that why she doesn’t listen to me?
‘Come here, put on your shoes, pick up your toys, finish
your carrots, don’t touch that’ — she isn’t being
naughty, she just can’t hear it!
And then that moment, for those of us whose kids
passed the hearing test with flying colors, comes
crashing down into a realization that, yep, they can hear
just find. They’re just choosing deafness.
But how can we really get mad when we remember that
we do the same thing to God day in and day out? I often
wonder if God, sitting in Heaven, tires of calling to us in
the same way young parents tire of calling out unheeded
directions to their small children. Help that person. Hear
My voice. Open your heart. Give of yourself here. Talk
to Me.
What is the call He wishes you to hear today? Can you
hear it? Are you listening?

Pastoral Vision Planning for each pastorate is an integral part of Uniting in Heart 2030. The process begins when a formal pastoral council has been formed and a pastorate survey of all parishioners has been conducted. The survey inventories parishioner’s experiences related to the following categories: Parish COVID-19 Response; Uniting in Heart; Spirituality and Pastoral Response; Communication; Ministries, Service, Hospitality, and Evangelization; Stewardship of Treasure; The Faith Life of You and Your Family; and the Future of our Pastorate. After the survey responses have been collated, the team spends time in prayer and reflection, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, discerns what areas need the most focus in the pastorate. Using the guidance and resources provided in the Uniting in Heart Pastorate Guide, the pastorate leadership team, pastoral council, finance council and pastorate consultant hold meetings with a coach from OSV to develop the goals and benchmarks that they discern are appropriate for their pastorate over the next three years. When goals are well defined with measurable metrics that can be shared, the plan is put into a formal Pastorate Vision Plan brochure that is tailored to the specific pastorate and shared with parishioners. This allows the whole pastorate community to understand, acknowledge and ultimately participate in executing and meeting the goals set by the pastorate.
