Welcome! The purpose of this page is to provide Pastors/Pastoral Leaders, Pastoral Council Facilitators and Council members with ideas and resources to help them carry out their ministry in the parish. Also, it will hopefully be a place where Councils can share their successes and their challenges with each other, as well as support and resource each other.

Mission: Conscious of the needs and concerns of the Church of Northwest Ohio and urged by the Gospel imperative to "feed my lambs, feed my sheep," the Office of Pastoral Planning will strive to assist pastors/pastoral leaders and parish pastoral councils to minister effectively to their parishioners by planning realistically to meet the spiritual, formation, sacramental and outreach/service needs of their people. The office will also endeavor to assist, resource and collaborate with deans and deaneries to creatively and realistically evaluate, update and implement the deanery pastoral plans.

 

The Guidelines for parish Pastoral Councils are presently out of print and are in the process of being updated. Until the updated Guidelines are completed and published, please download and use the format below.

Changes that are being made to the Guidelines primarily concern formatting and ease of use. The content of the Guidelines will remain fundamentally the same with some additional information about Councils for twinned parishes included.

Thank you for your patience.
