The Secretariat for Evangelization and Pastoral Planning exists to engage, equip, and send forth joyful disciples of Jesus Christ for the Church’s mission of evangelization. We provide support to parishes and schools throughout our diocese by communicating regularly and building relationships with pastors, principals, catechetical leaders and lay faithful. We offer opportunities for spiritual, pastoral, and catechetical formation, as well as leadership and administration training. We plan social, educational, and spiritual events and retreats for families, youth, and young adults to build up the domestic church. Through sacramental frameworks, we assist parishes in preparing believers for these vital moments to encounter God’s grace. Employing strategic, short-term and long-term planning, we aim to enhance the spiritual, operational, and financial strength of our parishes throughout the diocese.
