Parish Leadership Team
Our Purpose
We provide clarity of vision, strategic direction, and accountability so parish staff and ministries can focus their energy on mission rather than maintenance.
Our Core Question
Are we doing the right things as a parish?
OUR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
DISCERN & PROTECT THE VISION
SET STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
ESTABLISH GOALS & MEASURES
ENSURE ALIGNMENT
PROVIDE ACCOUNTABILITY
PARTNER WITH THE PASTOR
DISCERN & PROTECT THE VISION
Discern, articulate, and protect the parish vision rooted in evangelization.
SET STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Set clear strategic priorities that guide staff planning and decision making.
ESTABLISH GOALS & MEASURES
Establish parish wide goals and success measures.
ENSURE ALIGNMENT
Ensure staff roles, ministries, and resources remain aligned with mission.
PROVIDE ACCOUNTABILITY
Provide accountability at the parish level, not at the task level.
PARTNER WITH THE PASTOR
Partner closely with the pastor in spiritual and strategic leadership.
How This Supports Our Staff
CLEAR DIRECTION
ALIGNMENT
UNDERSTANDING
PREVENTS BURNOUT
CLEAR DIRECTION
Provides clear direction, reducing confusion and competing priorities.
ALIGNMENT
Creates alignment so staff are not working in isolation.
UNDERSTANDING
Helps staff understand why certain decisions are made.
PREVENTS BURNOUT
Prevents burnout by focusing energy on what matters most.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he who keeps the law, happy is he."
