The members of the Parish
Pastoral Council should review
the
parish
mission statement, parish pastoral plan, and a brief report of
all the
implementation actions for each parish plan goal.
Sample Agenda

and wisdom (15 minutes)
2. Assessment of
implementation efforts (90
minutes)
- Who are we? As the Council begins, they review the
current Parish Mission
Statement.
- Who are we called to be? The Council seeks the
answer to this question
in the context of the Gospel and Church Teaching.
- Where have we been? As the Council reviews the
actions taken, they
should ask:
- What have we done this year to accomplish the goals
of our current parish
pastoral plan? (This corresponds to item 121B of the Annual
Pastoral
Report)
- What did we discover? What surprises were revealed in
the implementation
reports?
- What are the effects of the recommendations that were
implemented?
- Are these effects contributing to the fulfillment of
the parish mission?
In what way?
- How has any delay in the implementation of our
recommendations affected
our parish?
- What (if any) barriers to implementation were
reported by implementors?
- What can we learn from these experiences?
- Has the cluster plan affected our parish plan in any
way? How?
- Where are we going? As the council plans for the upcoming
year, they should
ask:
- What changes have occurred in the parish and the
surrounding community
that may impact the implementation of the Parish Pastoral Plan?
- Does the plan reflect our mission statement?
- What (if any) new or revised goals need to be set in
light of the parish
mission statement and what we have discovered at this meeting?

- How do we get there?
