[PFPN Concurrent Session]

Key areas that need attention are:

  • Better understanding of the roles and functions of PFPN;
  • Enhance bonding of the 3 PPP;
  • Analysis to look into PFPN strength and weaknesses;
  • Devise methods to identify committed and dedicated olunteers to serve as PFPN Core Team, Zone and Taman Coordinators;
  • Quickly address the shortages of Taman Coordinators;
  • Ease of access to Church groups/ministries and to Priests;
  • Firm up on the figure of the number of families in the Parish.

Family Issues/PFPN Joint- Session

  • Build up PFPN first – bonding among its leaders;
  • Zone & Taman Leaders to be well informed on key Family issues & trained;
  • Build relationship with families through regular visits;
  • Improve coordination among Church groups.

Closing Address

  • Appeal to give chance for PFPN to work & facilitate 2 of the 3 PPPs;
  • Concerted effort from everyone;
  • Work together so that we would feel as part and parcel of PFPN & would not feel threatened by it.

Resolutions & Conclusions

  • All PDW 2009 delegates to commit and be agents of change;
  • To disseminate/communicate PDW 2009 Resolutions to respective groups’ members;
  • Quarterly review of the recommendations of 3 PPP concurrent sessions.

PDW 2009 ended successfully with great promise of renewed vigor to deal with and resolve to their conclusions the three Parish Pastoral Priorities, namely, Faith Formation, Family Issues and Parish Family Pastoral Network (PFPN).
