Bishop Coyne posts podcast about multicultural parishes

Bishop Coyne PodcastThe latest podcast of Bishop Christopher J. Coyne, auxiliary bishop and vicar general, is the final installment of a three-part conversation with Father Robert Murray, pastor of St. James and St. John the Baptist parishes in Haverhill, Mass., in the Boston Archdiocese, about pastoring multicultural parishes.

In their conversation, Father Murray and Bishop Coyne discuss the importance of building unity in a multicultural parish so that it can witness to the life and teaching of Jesus as one community of faith.

Father Murray also offers advice to those ministering in multicultural apostolates, and speaks about treasuring parishioners as the people of God as the basis for any ministry, regardless of the number of cultures present in the parish.
