DEFINITION OF COMMUNITY - Pillar of Uniting in Heart
Parish Vitality and Vibrancy
Fostering parish and school vitality through adequate and quality resources of all types, including sufficient finances and physical facilities, as well as capable leadership.
Our renewal efforts must focus on new ways to create vibrant parish life, especially in the areas of Religious Education and Adult Faith Formation, which would foster the seven signs of parish vitality. This includes a deliberate planning and discernment process that addresses needs of the community, supporting pastoral initiatives through sharing best practices, and helping support sustainable operations.
School Vitality & Vibrancy
Ensuring our Catholic schools achieve strong school mission vitality by focusing on their Catholic identity, as well as engaging today’s youth, enhancing the academic offerings, and promoting the ongoing development of school leaders.
Leadership Vitality & Vibrancy
Providing lifelong training and development for priests, as well as providing ongoing professional development for staff and lay leaders to be good stewards of our parishes.
Safe Environment
We protect minors and vulnerable persons entrusted to our care at all times.
