Parish Pastoral Planning is a prayerful and participative process through which a parish characterizes itself as a particular community of faith by developing its own Parish Mission Statement; assessing its strengths/resources, limitations/needs; making recommendations concerning establishment of priorities and goals and devising ways to accomplish its mission. Parish Pastoral Planning helps to answer the questions: Who are we as a parish? What are we called to do? How are we best going to do it?

Pastoral Planning is essential to the development of a parish. It encourages the fullest collaboration of clergy, religious, and laity. Pastoral planning enables a parish to become ever more fully a portion of the people of God sharing in the mission of Christ and developing the structures necessary for supporting its community life and carrying out its mission.

More information on the planning will be posted when available.
