Pastoral Services and Planning

As part of our Diocese’s mission, we proclaim “With the help of the Lord Jesus, we commit ourselves to work toward a more full realization of God’s reign on earth, by celebrating Christ’s presence in worship and sacrament, by teaching and serving, by building up community and by fostering justice through prayer and action.”

Pastoral Services provides the necessary framework, processes, and tools that support/assist our parishes in their desire to accomplish this essential task. In addition to providing critical resources, hands-on support for parish pastoral and finance councils is available to start or strengthen planning and pastoral decision-making within parish communities as well as for deaneries.
