An explanation of the Pastoral Region concept of de-centralation:
Most of the Catholics in the Archdiocese
live in the northern part of the country.
They live in rural villages and subsist by
raising cattle, goats, and growing some corn
and barley for their own use. They are isolated
in these distant villages with no cars or
modern transportation. Therefore, the Church
must be brought to them; they do not have
the mobility themselves to travel distances
to receive the sacraments or attend mass.
In response to this pastoral situation, the
Archdiocese now operates with three pastoral
layers of ministry. At the top is the Roman
Catholic Mission which is staffed by two
or more priests; then under the Mission are
the Roman Catholic Parishes which are staffed
by Deacons; then under the Parishes are
the Roman Catholic Communities which are
headed by Lay Leaders. This de-centralized
arrangement enables the Archdiocese to provide
pervasive pastoral care to these large numbers
of isolated Catholics. Omuthiya Pastoral Region R.C. Mission Omuthiya P.O. Box 19056, Omuthiya Tel: 264.060   8004664 Fr. Clemente F. Mario, MS Omahinda Parish Dcc Heinrich Amunime P.O.
