Great are the urban challenges for the Church today because it has not accompanied the signs of changes of epoch. The parish, the most basic cell of the Church, is the ecclesial configuration that is most affected by the new socialcultural-religious sensibility, strongly impressed by individualism and subjectivity. It challenges all parochial institution structure: the presupposed pastorals, the methods of evangelization, and furthermore, it strongly protest against an exaggerated dominance of bureaucracy present in the Church. A parochial crisis is inevitable! Gradually, the parish has been loosing its place as the place for the ecclesial community life for the urban man. It´s a need and an urgency to ransom the community spirit of the parish. This is only made possible through profound changes in its structure. Just as urgent, is the need of changing the way of thinking of those who are responsible for the parish. Centralizing authority and being authoritarian are not only contrary to the Gospel, but also they do not allow for the building of the ecclesial community. Clues for the restructuring of the parish lead to the highlighting of the human being, the importance of its aspirations, gifts and charismas. The norms, the institution, the Canonical Rights cannot smother the greater reality that is the human being. In the same perspective, the fundamental option of the renewal of the parishes, should be the creation of small communities, following the examples of the new ecclesial communities, where the sharing, the daily relationships and commom knowledge are more intense. Only through small communities will we be able to reach the greater goal, to transform the parish community of communities. New ways of making the parish present in the urban world demands the ransom of the missionary spirit with creativity and with dare.
