Networking and envisioning

One strong point emerging from the various interventions made by the confreres of different Provinces stemming from their practical and long-standing experience working in the Communication sector - besides the ruing that there ought to be a full-timer as the delegate for the Social Communication Commission) - is that there is hardly any real networking between the various commissions/departments/sectors (call it whatever one might). Each department does lot of work (if at all is functional). But in a direction it considers best. Another department too which does well, achieves lot but not necessarily in the same direction. Now, each department doing well in its own field is a great achievement, but what if all of these departments were to be coordinated so as to collectively, as a Province, move towards a common goal. That would be a real miracle, given our present working style (perhaps, Bl. John Paul II could help us with this in exchange for his canonisation!).

As far as my understanding goes, this is the task of the Youth Pastoral Team... coordinate the various commissions and departments to ensure that the common mission is worked out in each specific field, so that we grow as a Province. Perhaps if it does a little more than cut-and-paste the commission plans into one file, some good is bound to be done! Furthermore, a clear vision as to what is it that we are working towards will help a long way in fructifying our efforts.
