Purpose: The Office of Pastoral Planning collects and analyzes data concerning pastoral trends and provides technical and analytical support to parishes and other diocesan structures for planning purposes. Prepares assessment reports and provides information to the Planning Commission related to the resources of the Diocese so the Commission may make recommendations to the Bishop for improved efficiency and effectiveness in the supply and distribution of these resources to include priests, parishes, ministries, organizations and personnel.
