"In order to see that the Parish becomes the place of encounter between Christ and our brethren we must put into practice the commitment undertaken in Medellin, Puebla and Santo Domingo, of converting the Parish into a community of small communities and movements. In this way the Pastor becomes a stimulator of the lay leaders and a catechist of the catechists so that all those baptized - adults and children - can become living and responsible members."
