“I know the Plans I have for You, says the Lord.
Plans for a Future full of Hope”
Jeremiah 29:11
The
Office of Pastoral
Planning and Evangelization of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe
was established as the Pastoral Planning office in September
2002 by Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan.
From 2002-June 2006, our Office was primarily
responsible for coordinating the re-visioning of the
pastoral plan for the whole Archdiocese.
In July of 2006, with the Pastoral Plan completed,
the Office was renamed
Pastoral Planning and
Evangelization, to reflect the additional duties in
Evangelization for the Archdiocese.
“All the faithful by virtue of Baptism are equal in dignity. The voices of all are prized. The faithful have the responsibility to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and the right to speak on behalf of the welfare of the Church…” (Theological and Pastoral priority on Consultation and Governance, Archdiocese of Santa Fe)
Our
Mission:
The Office of Pastoral
Planning and Evangelization exists:
- Primarily to promote the up-dated Pastoral Plan
for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe 2006, particularly in the areas of
Consultation and Governance and Evangelization.
- To provide support for the development, training
and implementation of Parish Pastoral Councils and Parish Evangelization
teams throughout the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.
Our
Philosophy:
- That through Baptism all are called to share in
the mission and ministry of the Church, especially in the proclamation
of the Gospel message, the Good News of Jesus Christ
- That the laity be enabled and empowered to use their gifts
in collaboration with the ordained ministers in promoting the mission of
the Church and in giving witness to their faith in their respective
parishes
- That the availability of good formation
opportunities for growth and development in ecclesiology, spirituality
and leadership skills are essential to these tasks
- That our plans, programs and presence is developed
in keeping with the leadership and vision of our Archbishop, the
theological and pastoral priorities of our Archdiocese, local tradition,
and the needs and leadership within the parishes and deaneries
- That we support pastors and pastoral staffs and
the work of the laity to develop mutuality that allows each to accept
the gifts and the contribution of the other
