This article reflects on several organizational and structural aspects of the Catholic Church in the Netherlands relevant to Christian religious communication in 2009. Three characteristics of parishes (territoriality, hierarchical structure, and emphasis on pastoral care) are discussed against the background of five societal developments: declining church membership, decreasing numbers of volunteers and increased ages of volunteers, declining numbers of pastors and members of religious orders and congregations, reduced financial means, and increasing religious pluralism. The author concludes by presenting and discussing current alternative organizational structures of religious communities.
