Executive Cell Team (ECT)

Welcome, Pastors and Executive Cell Team Members!

Thank you for your “yes” to this important next step in implementing the pastoral letter. Your roles in your parish are vital; we see them as the fans of the flame of the Holy Spirit in your home parish.

Parish Staff: Schedule your pastoral visit appointment

Join Gizzy Miko and Regina Mancilla for a conversation about small groups in your parish. These visits are designed to provide dedicated support for small groups (Parish Evangelization Cells System (PECS)) at the parish level to:
– Understand your parish’s needs and challenges
– Hear about your successes
– Explore ways to grow small group ministry

Regardless if you have implemented small groups, the team would love to meet with you and your staff.

Deanery 6, please book appointments for May.

Book your 1-hour appointment here (Tuesdays or Thursdays, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.). If your parish has multiple locations, please indicate the location you prefer for us to meet. Please include parish staff in this meeting.

If your deanery’s designated month has passed, feel free to still make an appointment. Dates for deaneries 7-15 will be shared soon.

Small Group Leader Formation

This series provides eight 20-minute videos, each with accompanying practical exercises and a Small Group Leader Guidebook. This refreshed formation can be used in a variety of ways and allows for a more condensed and flexible formation for prospective small group leaders. Parishes can use this content in any of the following ways:

  1. Any small group can use the videos and exercises as the teaching and discussion moments of their small group meeting.  
  2. Prospective leaders can make a small group using the videos and exercises as the teaching and discussion moments of their small group meeting.  
  3. A parish can facilitate four 1.5 hour sessions to go through the formation videos and exercises.
  4. A parish can facilitate two 3 to 4 hour sessions to go through the formation videos and exercises.
  5. A parish can facilitate one 5 to 6 hour (one-day) formation.
Trained small group leaders may find it helpful to view as a refresher, but it is not required. Small Group Leader Formation from 2023 is still accessible and available below.
