Pastoral Planning and Leadership Development

The Office of Pastoral Planning and Leadership Development works to support and foster vibrant and sustainable parishes. It provides support and resources to parish leadership to plan for the future and work through challenges and/or foster collaborations at the parish, cluster, or regional level.  These efforts may include data/vitality review, goal setting, long range strategic planning, leadership development, and study of re-organization options.  Professional support includes consultation, leadership development, team building, conflict resolution, short and long range planning and change management with the ultimate goal to foster a pastoral environment and vibrant parish life.
