Priority: Small Groups and Technology

Purpose:  Reinvigorate parish ministries and organizations as small faith communities and explore ways to redirect their energies toward support for the faith of the home. 

Method:  Work with existing parish organizations – Mom’s, Men’s groups and baptismal teams.  Use new technologies for communications and invitations.  Focus parish ministries around sacramental preparation, lifelong faith formation and charitable outreach.

Parish Vitality - is less about doing more things and more about doing the right things!
