Marcus Grodi warns ex - ministers NOT to count on $$$$ salaried $$$$ positions when they join the Catholic Church!


Snippets from his February 2011 Newsletter.

"Based on our experience working with more than 1,400 non - Catholic clergy on their way into the Catholic Church, I believe it's important for everyone on that journey to relinquish all expectations of full time service on the payroll of the Church.

"Such paid employment certainly may happen, and we at the CHNetwork continue to commit ourselves to do all all we can to help those who sense this call from the Lord.

"Nevertheless, 70 percent of all clergy converts do not find employment in Church - sponsored ministries!

And even those who do may find that Church - sponsored employment comes only years after their entrance into the Church.

"Even when a well - intentioned bishop, diocesan official, or parish priest offers high hopes, our experience shows that rarely do these offers provide immediate support for families.

"I advise clergy converts, then, to assume that the support of their family will be on their shoulders, not the responsibly of the Church ..."


Well said, sir! :)
