UPDATE: FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS COMPLETED

FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS - GROUP 1 ("CITY" GROUP)

FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS - GROUP 2 ("POLONIA" GROUP)

Approximately 1,500 parish leaders throughout the Archdiocese of Detroit responded to Archbishop Vigneron’s call to develop a plan to strengthen the Church’s presence throughout southeast Michigan by participating in Phase II of the “Together in Faith” pastoral planning process.

Many meetings and much work has been accomplished and by June 30th, all of the planning groups prepared and submitted their initial draft recommendations. Planning group members, pastors, and vicars are again urged to communicate the outcomes of the Together in Faith planning meetings in which they participate with their parishes and schools to inform

parishioners and parents. In July and August, the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council (APC) will review the recommendations from each of these parish and school planning groups and will ask questions/make comments on each plan, which will be returned to the planning groups for their consideration in September and October. The planning groups will refine and

resubmit to the APC their final recommendations in the form of a draft plan. The APC will then review and submit plans to the Archbishop by the end of November.

Fulfilling the Archbishop’s commitment to transparency, the data, maps, and other documentation used by the Together in Faith planning groups is published on the AOD website at www.aodonline.org/TogetherInFaith and Genesis vicariate website at www.GenesisVPC.org.  You are encouraged to review the notes from your planning group, especially the data regarding your parish. This will give you a good overview of the progress to-date. Please share and discuss this information with others in your parish, planning group, and vicariate.

Together in Faith planning group members have taken their responsibilities very seriously, often putting in many hours of analyzing data and engaging in honest and, at times, difficult discussions. Some exciting and challenging plans have begun to emerge. The ultimate goal is to strengthen our parishes and schools, to better serve the faithful throughout the Archdiocese of Detroit, and to share Christ in and through the Church.
