Engaging immigrant populations in stewardship is a challenge, but Msgr. Pope (and my committee) would say it’s a challenge we have to undertake. Realistically, one element might be accepting a different attitude toward buildings. If a parish is - probably through no fault of anyone there - enslaved to its physical plant, that can be a major impediment to building a living and evangelical congregation in the present.

The problems seen with parish facilities is often the same as with the neighborhood infrastructure; as these populations move in, they also don’t seem to have any desire to pay for road improvements, garbage/snow removal, etc.

They want everything made available and maintained for them, but not on their dimes.
