Strategic Visioning Update: July 6

The Strategic Visioning Committee is busy finalizing the proposed goals and initiatives for the Diocese's strategic vision. We are scheduling several listening sessions to hear your comments and suggestions regarding our proposal. We have grouped the parishes largely by geographical area. However, if some people are not able to attend when their respective parishes are scheduled, they can join on either of the other two dates.
We will conduct each listening session over Zoom on a Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. This way, people who need to log into the meeting at their church buildings can do so not long after worship and fellowship has ended. Anyone who wants to join on their personal computer will have time to return home and log on.
Here are the sessions scheduled (Zoom login instructions will be available in advance of each session):
