Apparently, your priest and/or Bishop DID figure out what to do with you since, in your words, you are "a pastoral minister for a very small parish (strictly volunteer) and I do a lot of youth ministry on the Diocesan level..." 
Mine did too - encouraging my efforts with Consolation Ministry and leading Pre-Cana with my husband on both the parish and Diocesan levels. I am privileged to be part of our Pastoral Council, so my voice is heard....

Therefore, I'm not at all sure what your complaint is.
