“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.”

— Lewis Carroll, author

Now that your Family Leadership Team is coming together, your Family of Parishes needs a vision! Bring your Family Leadership Team to join those from other parishes to reflect upon the importance of creating vision for the Family of Parishes and to learn how to best create, communicate, and enact that vision within the Family. By the end of the day, the Family Leadership Team will be better equipped to begin Phase 2.  In Phase 2 your Family Leadership Team will build on Visio Day to lead vision creation and communication process with your staff, pastoral councils, finance councils, and other parish leaders.

Time

9am – 3pm

Cost

$100 per Family Leadership Team, includes lunch and materials

How do I know if my Family Leadership Team is ready for Visio Day?

  • Your Family Leadership Team is taking shape: most positions are identified and filled; you can identify the 5-8 people who will attend (and they’ll all fit at ONE table!)
  • You’re well on your way to completing the Milestones of Phase 1 and have completed the parish inventories and Vision Assessment Tool.
  • You’re ready to get started on most (if not all) of the Milestones of Phase 2 in the spring or summer of 2023.
  • Your pastor is available to participate in the day (the pastor is REQUIRED to attend, and we hope ALL members of the FLT can too!)

Contact us if you need help discerning readiness.

Don’t worry if you’re not comfortable attending Visio Day now…there will be another opportunity in Fall 2023.

I am convinced that Beacons of Light, born of great hope, will enable us to form stronger parishes, centered on the Eucharist, that radiate the love of Christ and joy of the Gospel… God has abundantly blessed our first two centuries and will certainly bless the next.
