History of the Visioning Committee

Collaborating with Fr. Ray to Formulate Meaningful Vision and Direction for our Parish
In the fall of 2012, after considerable thought and prayer, Fr.Ray invited nearly two dozen parishioners representing different sectors of our congregation to be a part of a ‘Visioning Group’ for our parish. Sub-groups of the Visioning Group, under Fr. Ray’s direction and in collaboration with our entire faith community (YOU!), will help direct the future of our parish by looking at where our parish has been, where we are now, and where we are going.

Sub-Groups of the Visioning Committee

Where have we been?
The sub-group looking at this question is compiling information via interviews to develop a written documentation of the history and accomplishments of our parish. This information will be used to recognize and celebrate past successes as well as lessons learned in order to formulate a meaningful future for our parish.
