PARISH PASTORAL PLANNING•The Church finds its immediate expression in the parish. It may lack resources. It may be widely scattered. It may be lost to sight in huge cities. Still the parish must be seen as the place where the mystery of the Church is made present. It is no mere geographical area but a fellowship, the family of God.
(Christ’s Faithful People)
•The most important element in collaborative ministry is probably a shared vision of what the parish can be if all the members realise to the full their baptismal vocation and mission, both as individuals and as community.
(The Sign We Give)

PARISH PASTORAL PLANNING
We must all plan, although we must rely on God for the result - What we propose with the help of God, should be profoundly rooted in contemplation and prayer.
Pope John Paul II
