Deanery Meetings Spring 2024

Each pair of deans is asked to hold a deanery meeting in Spring of 2024. Ideally, at least one hour of the meeting is dedicated to conversation among pastors, vicars, and other parish leaders about Beacons of Light.

The questions below could guide your conversation. Please use at least the first two, and choose from among the others as conversation unfolds.

After the meeting (ideally completed by June 1), deans report using the form below. With any questions or concerns, please contact the Center for Parish Vitality. Thanks!
