One priest among the group will serve as a \u201cmoderator\u201d for the family. Although priests may primarily minister at one or two parishes, they will share responsibility for every parish in the family. The moderator acts as a sort of \u201cfirst among equals\u201d who is tasked with coordinating collaboration, resolving differences, and speaking on behalf of the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, let\u2019s give a brief introduction to our team of Priests.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fr.
