May-June 2020 issue of Catholic Herald magazine is published, with theme of co-responsibility and accountablity in the church

The May-June issue of Catholic Herald magazine has been published. The theme for this issue is co-responsibility and accountability in the church. The digital edition of the magazine is available at http://faithdigital.org/Sacramento/SAC0520/

In the cover story of the May-June issue, Father George Snyder, pastor, and Paula Staszkow, parish director, share how St. Clare Parish in Roseville thrives with shared leadership and responsibility. "The diocesan model is to be co-workers, co-leaders in the vineyard," Paula says. "Co-workers suggests others can help. The passage that always comes to mind for me is 1 Corinthians 12," she says, quoting one of St. Paul's most vivid metaphors of one body with many indispensable parts. "We really come together to be the body of Christ."

Other feature stories in this issue include Bishop Jaime Soto's column on: "As members of Christ's body, we must each be accountable for growing in the holiness of Jesus"; Diocesan Pastoral Council members Janine Jorgensen and Emilia Jankowski describe their experience of advising Bishop Soto on pastoral works by offering their views and perspectives; how shared leadership with parish steward Greg Kidder and priest-supervisor, Father Martin Ramat, assist in rebuilding St. Thomas More Parish in Paradise after the devastating Camp Fire in the fall of 2018; and how regional governance boards leverage their expertise to secure the future of Catholic schools.
