With a growing shortage of priests, some Catholic parishes are thinking creatively about alternative models of pastoral leadership. Meet Elizabeth Simcoe, a lay woman appointed by her bishop to run St. Vincent de Paul parish in Albany, NY. It's a demanding job that requires strong leadership and the ability to collaborate and listen. It's about being pastoral, which isn't an attitude reserved only for ordained priests.
