Formation of Set Ablaze Plan

Our pastorate’s Set Ablaze Pastoral Plan has been developed in response to Bishop DeGrood’s call for the Diocese of Sioux Falls to move from a position of slow decline to a position of growth and ultimately foster Lifelong Catholic Missionary Discipleship Through God's Love.

In order to develop the plan, a planning committee in our pastorate followed parameters as given by the Office of the Bishop and gathered input from the parishioners through town halls and surveys in the Fall/Winter of 2023. The plan was recently approved by the Office of the Bishop in July 2024.

A pastor’s leadership team will assist the Pastor in overseeing the implementation of the pastoral plan over the next 2-3 years. We thank all our parishioners for your active participation by offering input, staying updated throughout the process, and for stepping forward as needed throughout the plan implementation.  

To get involved in the Pastoral Plan or to submit concerns or feedback, you can utilize the following form which will be submitted to the Pastor's Leadership Team or you can contact either parish office to be put in contact with the team.
