This past Wednesday, after receiving 97 responses (THANK YOU ALL), the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) came up with the following revised mission statement, which is awaiting approval from the Parish Pastoral Council.
The SPC also reviewed Current Trends in our area. Here are some highlights:
- Mass attendance is almost at pre-COVID levels
- Collections are up. Yippie!
- Our neighborhood is primed for growth and attracting developers
- Our residents are slightly older than the city average, however the neighborhood is attracting more young families.
- There are financially and food insecure brothers and sisters living among us, which we need to further identify and intentionally serve. Partnerships will be key.
- Our community was diverse, decades before 'Diversity & Inclusion' were trending.
Bottom line: WE ARE AWESOME and need to Share our Awesomeness!
