About This Section

Here you will find a copy of the current Diocesan Pastoral Plan "Our Journey of Faith...led by the Spirit," which was approved by Bishop DiLorenzo in December 2008. The Plan focuses on two primary issues for our diocese: 1) What do we do if the number of priests available to serve our diocese is severely reduced? and 2) How do we begin to collaborate among parishes? We have identified cluster partners across the diocese. As our Bishop has stated many times, this plan is a "blueprint" for how to go forward. With that in mind, we have developed some "Implementation Tools." We have included Power Point presentations that were given at past vicariate meetings and sample Local Planning Area mission statements. In addition, we list the titles of books that address various topics related to clustering and sharing among parishes. We hope you will utilize these resources.
