“Called to be the loving face of christ”

Effective planning is critical for the sustainability and vitality of Catholic schools. The New Ulm Diocesan Fourth Plan for Parishes identifies demographic realities within the diocese. The same demographics and many of the other challenges effecting parishes also effect Catholic schools. We must be continually ready to renew and to adapt to these challenges as we prepare for a future of Catholic school educational opportunities within the diocese. This Pastoral Plan for Catholic Schools identifies areas for various groups to discuss and address in the upcoming years.
