21. In our parish, are we…
Silos or a Network?
• Organization Silos are when individual people,
departments, or companies, conduct business in a
vacuum without taking into consideration the impact
their actions have on the entire organization.
• Silos are basically large vertical buildings that
separate and store material on a farm. When
organizations run in silos they are not looking at
other aspects and the cause and effect of various
activities, so it is referred to as working in a silo.

22. In our parish, are we…
Silos or a Network?
• The Networked Organization has been defined
by Lipnack and Stamps as one:
• "where independent people and groups act as
independent nodes, link across boundaries, to
work together for a common purpose; it has
multiple leaders, lots of voluntary links and
interacting levels."

26. Christ Has No Online Presence
Christ Has No Online Presence but Yours
No Blog, no Facebook page but yours,
Yours are the tweets through which love touches this
world,
Yours are the posts through which the Gospel is shared,
Yours are the updates through which hope is revealed.
Christ has no online presence but yours,
No blog, no Facebook page but yours.
Paul Brian Campbell, SJ created this contemporary take on Saint
Theresa of Avila’s well known prayer, Christ Has No Body.
