Regrouping
Regrouping
Regrouping is needed for good governance -- that is, for the good of the community -- and to support the strategic direction of the bigger community (area/sector, cluster). This is also done to adjust to the needs of the general leadership and membership.
Regrouping is a pastoral tool to be made use of by the CFC leadership in order to:
Build unity and brotherhood/sisterhood.
As our members are brought into new households and thus meet other brothers and sisters, the network of interpersonal and fraternal relationships within CFC is expanded, thus building unity and community.
Households do not degenerate into "islands" providing support and strength to its members but having no meaningful identification or interaction with the rest of CFC.
Streamline the membership geographically.
As membership increases, members will be more and more grouped proximate to one another.
"Make do" group assignments made during the year can be corrected.
Natural "clustering" is to be promoted.
Parish-based CFC groups will eventually be composed only or mostly of parishioners.
Raise up new pastoral resources.
Potential leader couples can be grouped under a strong household head and put on a "fast track" of spiritual development.
Members with a common service (e.g., music ministry) may be placed together in one household.
Position CFC for further growth.
Establish new or reorganized units/chapters as made necessary by the increasing membership.
