ST. BRIDGET OF KILDARE
PARISH LISTENING SESSIONS:
OCTOBER 10th & 12th 6:00pm-8:00pm
***REGISTRATION REQUIRED***
WHAT IS A "LISTENING SESSION?"
As part of the next phase of "All Things New," every parish in the Archdiocese will have two Listening Sessions. Each listening session will be facilitated by volunteer parishioners from a different parish. These trained facilitators will share
pre-recorded messages from Archbishop Rozanski and Fr. Chris Martin with an overview of All Things New, a planning area overview and multiple DRAFT model options to consider for the respective planning area. A brief time will be allowed for small group discussion and facilitated large group feedback.
The goals of the listening sessions are to engage as many parishioners as possible in understanding the current state of our parishes and diocese and to solicit feedback from as many parishioners as possible about the DRAFT models options for their planning area.
After the final listening session in each planning area, the Archdiocese of St. Louis will make public the content presented at all the Listening Sessions in that planning area and will offer an additional opportunity for parishioners to provide open-ended feedback through an online survey. The survey will remain open until December 31, 2022. Parishioner feedback to the models is critical, as it will be used to help shape the future of the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
