| Parish Goals and Objectives |
| Based upon one-to-one conversations, comments from the Parish Assembly, and other feedback from parishioners, the Pastoral Planning Council has identified four comprehensive long-term goals that reflect the hopes and concerns of our parishioners for the coming years. |
Our Parish Goals:
Worship: To enhance and encourage participation in worship.
Teaching: To develop opportunities to support lifelong faith formation.
Service: To broaden our response to the needs of our parishioners and community.
Communication: To promote effective communication about parish life.
The Pastoral Council believes that these goals are focused enough to address the most pressing matters facing the parish, as well as broad enough to invite creative solutions from all parishioners as we plan the future of St. Anselm Parish together.
Over the past year, parishioners have worked together to design and initiate specific objectives to help achieve each goal. These objectives are each at varying stages of development and implementation:
Current Objectives
Goal 1: To enhance and encourage participation in worship.
Objective A: Establish a process for class designated Masses
Objective B: Plan enhanced CCD, including a Sunday session
Objective C: Develop a Greeting Ministry
Goal 2: To develop opportunities to support lifelong faith formation.
Objective A: Expand the types of materials available through the resource library
Objective B: Acquire or produce a parish-based daily reflection / devotional
Objective C: Promote family prayer through parish-sponsored sessions
Goal 3: To broaden our response to the needs of our parishioners and community.
Objective A: Prepare a Resource Directory of services available for parishioners
Objective B: Establish a Consolation Society
Goal 4: To promote effective communication about parish life.
Objective A: Establish a communications committee to collect and
publicize parish information
Objective B: Commence a church-building and parish history project
Since the pastoral council exists in part to gather feedback from parishioners so that St. Anselm’s can achieve its parish goals, please contact us if you: would like to find out how to help participate in the objectives’ programs; have any questions about the objectives; would like share your thoughts about these objectives; or, have suggestions about potentially new objectives.
