P.L.A.N. is St. Margaret Mary's Strategic Planning for the Future. The P.L.A.N. Steering Committee has been working since Summer 2007 to develop and implement a plan for the future which is now acting as our parish's blueprint, guiding decisions concerning parish facilities and their use as well as in the implementation of parish programs.
Valuable information was gathered from parishioners through surveys, interviews, and group discussions over a period of several months. This information is now being used to further define our parish's vision and identity as a faith community.
Feedback was used to help the group identify several areas that they felt warranted further study and development as part of the parish's futures planning.
Four main categories for planning have been created:
• Parish Involvement & Ownership
• Social Opportunities
• Communications/Marketing/Public Relations
• Spiritual Growth and Outreach
The final P.L.A.N. was mailed to all parish households in August 2008 and is currently being implemented according to a timeline that takes the parish through the next few years and beyond.
