Honoring Pope Francis
It is with sadness that we received word of Pope Francis' death. The timing of his death on Easter Monday, the day between Easter and Earth Day, has been noted by many as so fitting. As Pastoral Ministers, Pope Francis' life of compassion, mercy, and love for "todos" - all of God's people and God's creation - has set a standard for us all. His memory will long be a blessing.
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O Lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and Thy grace, for this is sufficient for me.
-St. Ignatius of Loyola
About Us
The Association of Pastoral Ministers provides support, advocacy and ongoing formation to our members who are professional lay ecclesial ministers committed to pastorally serving the human and spiritual needs in the Church.
The role of our members is one of leadership in calling people forth to ministry and in modeling new ways of ministering.
We are dedicated to nurturing relationships with individuals and organizations within the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and beyond its boundaries. We are concerned with broader relationships and responsibilities. We recognize the value of dialogue within the Church for human and spiritual growth for all.
A community of discernment, we seek to discover and implement ways that will strengthen and improve the quality of our ministry, modeled after the life and teachings of Jesus.
