IMMACULATE CONCEPTION PARISH


STRATEGIC PLAN 2019 – 2023

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To build upon the great work of the previous parish strategic plan (2010-2015) it was decided by the pastoral council to retain the Mission and Vision Statements of that plan as well as gather new input from the parish and school community to develop a plan for the next five years. Five key pillars were identified for this new plan:
  1. Deepen the faith life of the community
  2. Establish a united parish (Latino/Anglo, parish/school, etc.)
  3. Provide opportunities to serve and effect change
  4. Ensure financial stability
  5. Address facility and administrative needs of the parish
The previous plan’s emphasis on communications was also woven throughout. After wide consultation from the parish, including a survey, listening sessions and parish assemblies, four key areas of effort were identified: Mass experience, faith formation, unity/fellowship, and opportunities to serve. Incorporating this input as well as the diocesan priorities and those of the province of the friars, action items were identified under the headings of the five pillars, with ongoing, near-term, and long-term efforts presented. For more information review the full strategic plan.

PLAN ROLLED OUT TO THE PARISH ON JANUARY 19/20.
The weekend of January 19/20, Fr. Chris, our pastor presented the strategic plan to the parish. The one-page summary of the strategic plan was put into our weekly bulletin as a way to distribute this information to our parishioners. The summary and entire plan was posted on our website.
​
