From Fr. Tom,
Starting January 25th, the Archdiocese of St. Louis will begin the actual process of its strategic planning program, “ALL THINGS NEW.” There has already been a significant amount of work done to get to this point. We will have much more information on this process next weekend with a letter from Archbishop Rozanski, prayer cards, and brochures outlining the process, timeline, and access to the “ALL THINGS NEW” website which is the place to go online for official information and developments. The MOST IMPORTANT thing all of us can do now is pray for the successful implementation of this initiative. The second most important thing is to have consistent and cohesive communication using the official website. There will, no doubt, be those people who think they know something nobody else does, or think they know what is going to happen before anybody else does. Don’t be that person! Pastors, principals, teachers, office managers, parishioners are all in this together. Keep a close eye on the bulletin and I look forward to starting this with you next weekend!
God bless St. Joseph Parish.
