    (IV) EVANGELIZATION AND THE PARISH I. Why Look at Parish? In recent years the dignity of the person and the role of culture have been central to the Church’s mission of evangelization. However, between a theological anthropology of the person and the social analysis of culture there is another practical dimension of Christian life that has been somewhat ignored. I am referring to the idea and function of parish. Helping parishes to become missionary, that is, to become engines of evangelization is one challenge that the Bishops of North America face.1 Understanding the meaning of Parish and its mission to evangelize deserves focused attention and action for five reasons. First, we often take the idea of parish for granted. In urban areas, the territorial definition of parish has very little or no meaning. People seek the parish and the Sunday Mass time that maximizes their convenience and satisfaction thanks to the car and a dash of the consumerism. Parish allegiance is diminishing.2 What idea of parish is really operative today? What idea should be operative and what should we be doing about it? Second, the Church is a catalyst or at least an arena for the dynamic between culture and the faithful. But is this happening at the parish level? At least one Canadian theologian has argued it is not and that in the future parishes may not be necessary.3 Third, immigration and multiculturalism have radically altered the presuppositions and expectations of what a parish is and how it should function. In the Greater Toronto Area, the Eucharistic Assembly is a wonderful sight to behold because of the variety of multinational faces.
