ARCHDIOCESAN PASTORAL PLANNING:
2020 Recap and Look ahead to Plan Launch in 2021
Since first coming together in August, Archbishop Etienne’s lay pastoral council has made great progress in developing a new pastoral plan for the Archdiocese of Seattle. Archbishop directed the council to create a plan that inspires everyone to grow in relationship with Jesus and the church, encourages dialog and prayer, and builds engagement to integrate our faith more deeply into daily life.
Archbishop clearly stated that he does not want the new plan to be another “program” containing long lists of requirements for our many ministries. Instead, the plan should include a unifying vision across our ministries that stirs the hearts of the people and helps us all to be credible witnesses of our faith.
The eight laywomen, five laymen, and two clergy consultors of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council met nine different weekends in the late summer and fall of 2020. This included a 3-day virtual retreat hosted by Fr. Bill Watson, S.J. of the Sacred Story Institute. After initial orientation and formation, the council went to work developing the foundation for a new plan based on Jesus’ mission, a vision for the future of the church in the Archdiocese and a new set of core values to serve as the basis for mission-effectiveness training for all formal ministers in the church.
In October, the council began to invite the people of God into the planning process via 40 listening sessions with clergy and lay Catholic ministers across western Washington. Nearly 8,000 responses from an online survey conducted in 2020 will also inform the plan.
Based on initial feedback, the council will introduce a first draft of the plan in February. That draft will serve as the basis for further listening sessions across the Archdiocese to deepen engagement among all Catholics, but especially: -parishioners from each of the 10 deaneries of the Archdiocese -representatives from the many ethnically diverse Catholic communities -youth and young adults Opportunities to make your voice heard are available throughout the planning process, including online at pastoralcouncil.org. The new pastoral plan will launch in the summer of 2021.
