Parish Strategic Planning

The current strategic planning process in the Diocese of Brooklyn is rooted in the developing sense of dialogue that was fostered with the parish pastoral planning process.

This process is meant to address the concerns of temporal resources (finances, buildings, etc.) and ensure that those resources are used to support the pastoral mission of the Church. In addition, the process is also meant to support the ongoing planning efforts of each parish by fostering a dialogue between financial resources and pastoral mission. In short, does our money speak to our mission?

The parish process encourages consultation as a primary means of deepening the reflection of all parishioners and parish leaders on the pastoral priorities of the parish in light of the resources available for ministry. Pastoral and financial planning is ongoing within each parish. The hope is that this process will assist in that endeavor. In addition, the information gathered from the consultations will assist the Bishop as he prepares to make decisions to secure the vitality and sustainability of the Church of Brooklyn and Queens in the coming years.
